My friend Carol has developed a wonderful plan to build a Mothers' Garden at the cemetary. She has asked me to help with it. We will try to find others who will help too. The cemetary has agreed to give us a parcel of land to use. Our vision is that it will be a quiet, beautiful place where we can all go to meditate, pray and remember our loved ones. I'm very excited about creating a space like this that is healing instead of so sad. Wyatt really enjoyed plants and the outdoors. He was a grounds keeper at Hamline one summer. He told me his favorite flower was an Iris. We have a cluster by our back door. I plan to take some of them and put them in the garden when we get to that point. I will keep you posted about our progress.
I've started to do a little writing. I will maybe post some of it now and then. Here is a sample.
Time is death in sheep's clothes.
Stare into it's face
Watch for the sleight of hand
Beware the innocent
tick tock
it is Death's march.

Glad you liked it. I could post the Reflection of The Beast if you liked that one better. Too bad Wyatt isn't here to recite it. It always had us laughing until we burst.
can't wait to see the garden. :)
