STRONG LINES

Lakewood Cemetery since 1871, The day break and the shadows flee .......

Harry Wild Jones, Minneapolis Architect for the Memorial Chapel

How is it possible to feel so melancholy on such a dazzling day? 

That's just unacceptable

don't you agree?

So

being off duty with nothing pressing for the moment,

How could I not, grab my camera and fly out the door?

THERE IS A VERY FINE LINE BETWEEN LOVING LIFE AND BEING GREEDY FOR IT. - Maya Angelou

...and why not visit my mother on this day?

For those of you that don't know
my mother left this world
in 2008.

Her spirit is very much alive here.

Is it wrong to speak of my visit in the present tense?

After all on a day like this I know I'd find her
 kissing the sun as it shines
as she did with the moon as well.

Isn't it amazing how something so splendidly silent can be so profound?

You just want to run around

like a person free of sorrow but bursting with joy.

I never realized at the time I shot this photo, but after seeing it on my computer, there's a definite line separating the sky from the grass and tree line.


Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.  - Lao Tzu

Lakewood Cemetery a forever haven in the heart of Minneapolis.

Memorial Community Mausoleum and Columbarium.

Progress has not followed a straight ascending line, but a spiral with rhythms of progress and retrogression of evolution and dissolution. - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

We have such little time to draw our own lines, no time to waste.......
