Last year I often used to walk past (or through) a graveyard on my way to school in Japan – a great way to focus the mind on death & renewal!
elements Mega graveyard, near Himeji, Japan. 13/1/2012 we try so hard to keep memory alive. flesh eaten by other life, the air. bones last a moment longer. marble monuments endure for centuries yet even these fade, crumble back to arms of earth and air. ultimately nothing remains but that long chain of chromosomes, past and future generations linked by spiral bands. with time the patient ground welcomes us all.
