Your photo of this angelic statue says it all. Tranquility beneath dignity. I believe in angels and that they are the messengers from the Universe.
Much peace, love, and light,

...look homeward angel....

We all have seeing once or twice a face wearing that kind of sadness...

Sad. Sounds cold and empty. Few words, but quite the mood. Hugs,

I find most cemeteries kind of creepy, but I found a certain serenity within your words. That all is not right, can be sad but it exists forever. The final resting place expecially the baby area I found sad but also found acceptance as it is. Interesting what Sage said about the evolution of angels. Theologians can desex anything. I really liked this trip through the cemetery. Surprise for me. Liz

i love this piece vickie, i to find cemetries. peacefull and interesting when you read the inscriptions history unfolds as your mind takes yu back to that time when the person lived, it makes you wonder what live held for those who now rest peacefully beneath the soil and it also makes you realise your own destiny because one day we will also be laid to rest.
it brings to mind a quote i read i think i have mentiones it before,
LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF BREATHS WE TAKE.
BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY.
treasure every breath you take because you never no when it will be your last.
stay happy and may your life be filled with breathless moments.
Dave.

Cemeteries are interesting and, underneath all the history, scenes of great sorrow.

How deep and moving...very elegant.

I find your verses very compelling here dear Vickie. I also consider the source of your inpiration and this gives me pause for thought. Merci, mon amie, déesse des terres plates. Amour et bises,

Wonderfully poetically baptised! Brought to life for the lot of us in healing time...the angel is a centralized spiritual figure who graces earth to ether, in Christian tree tops to Church cemeteries...actually, angels were originally Pagan and desexed philosophically in the writings of early theologians who said that unlike the souls of the virtuous reborn, angels were unable to even kiss. Christian iconographers borrowed an existing inspirational winged figure for their angel, the Pagan goddess Nike, or Victory. As a result angels became feminized, sexually ambiguous figures...until the end of time...

Love,
Sage
