fear realized

hi,

that's me.

hiking through-  places.

when we fell upon these, erm, fake 

coffins.

Yeah...

so I didn't know that I would get as creeped out as i was...

until...

this moment, when my husband told me to jump in and i had to stick one-crock-ed foot out for peace of mind.

that's not a smile on my face. that's stone cold fear.

scared?

people fear cemeteries...

i don't know why- i never did. My Grandfather passed away, God Rest his Soul, when I was 8 years old so I've spend a LOT of time in cemeteries. I think people fear the unknown, when the fear they should have is living an unfulfilled life.

The photo above was shot in Barbados, is completely untouched, and there's a lot of creepy colorful glares on it.

It's also one of the oldest tombs in the cemetery we'd visited.

during a weekend a few months back, a dear friend of our took LML and I to a ragtime show dedicated to the founder himself, Scott Joplin.

it was a wonderful show, complete with all of his songs and even a barbershop quartet- and i'm almost positive i've been in the audience of a barbershop quartet performance- i just can't remember when.

when the performance was over, we walked over to his grave-

did i forget to mention that the memorial was being held in a cemetery?

yes, it was totally weird, though not at all creepy. many people gathered in Mr. Joplin's memory. It was an awesome day.

I will post the article about this event once it is posted in the paper!

thank you for reading
