with one single 🙌

As their vibrant flowers die off, the plant goes through different stages. You can see both life & death on one single lupine plant. I love how nature respects & depends on both to continue going on.

I think/believe there's as much beauty in life as there is in death. I have respect & admiration for both.

"Beloved, to be white is to know that you have at your own hand, or by extension, through institutionalized means, the power to take black life with impunity. It’s the power of life and death that gives whiteness its force, its imperative."

My swimming buddy passed last summer. I buried him by the gladiolus garden. This photo looks so serene. He lived a wonderful life.

Rebecca Lorch was strong and strong-willed
In lifting weights her heart was thrilled
But in the end, her fierceness failed
The toughest of us sometimes quail
Vigorous workouts never quite suffice
Life and death, they can both entice
So take care, set

These days are a happy time for everyone, but there's also a little sadness for those no longer near us. Whether we lost them to distance, life changes, sickness, or death, let us all remember those we can no longer hug close to us.

@Daniella Houston is very good about getting word out to the homeless on these coldest of nights — including convincing, then helping them to the proper facilities. Nobody in charge (city/county) assumes the homeless listen to TV or Internet when it’ll drop 45 degrees in the afternoon to temperatures in the teens.

has a public cemetery that’s in a filed, meadow type setting, without fences or restriction. It’s open to anyone wandering through this public space.

It’s historic in nature inasmuch as there doesn’t appear to be new gravesites… many are of the dearly departed from yesteryear who lived a life and experienced a different time to that of our modern-day.

These pictures were taken during sunset.

My will clearly specifies being buried under a newly planted sapling, to give to give back to nature and to the earth, in some small way.

After a certain age, the holidays begin to have a bittersweet taste. This is particularly true when you begin to realize that each year there are less presents to wrap and place under the tree, and more photographs of friends and loved ones on the "Día de Muertos" ofrenda.

“When we die, they may bury us or collect our ashes, but remember this: from baby teeth to skin cells and everything in between, most of the matter that has worn your name is already spread throughout the world. We bury our remains in the soil of our lifetimes… The substance of your form is not fixed. It flows like a river to and from the wilderness.”

From ‘Field Guide to the Haunted Forest’ by Jarod K Anderson
