Finding Inspiration: A Southern Cemetery
A recent trip to historic Brooksville Florida brought me to a charming old cemetery full of exquisite statuary, tombstones covered in lichens and moss, ghostly old oaks, and palm tree-lined pathways. Take a walk with me through a Southern Cemetery...
At the end of the walk I found this plaque on the wall...
Cemeteries are symbolic of the value of life and the eternalness of the soul.
The most important lesson of a cemetery would probably be Gratitude...
Gratitude for Life, for Love, for Family, for this beautiful Earth...
+ Live Gratefully +
