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 +


Check out this beautiful cemetery I visited in Pennsylvania:

And here are some links explaining art and symbolism found in cemeteries:
