Solemn




     I went to the Lakeview, Roselawn and Tiger Flowers cemetery complex for this fieldtrip, and I stayed there for at least 40 minutes.
    There were more photos that I took while being at the cemetery but I didn't put them on here because it looked a little too cluttered.  Anyways, what I noticed on a lot of the tombstones they read, "At Rest," like the one to the right of this page, "Gone But Not Forgotten," to the left.  I was able to walk around, take time to listen to the nothingness and meditate on what was swaying in my heart.  It was a hard time, yet I was able to have some closure on a situation that has taken me and still is continuing to take me some time to be okay.  I am  glad we had this field trip as part of our homework.  It was a solemn experience.
