in the serene embrace of the cemetery, where whispers of the past and present merge, one finds the suggestion of peace beyond the tumultuous journey of life. it is here, amidst the eternal rest, that the soul learns to spurn the distractions of the physical world, embracing a pre-initiation into the realms of tranquility. this sacred ground teaches us the humility to return to square one, acknowledging the cycles of existence without seeking under-the-table shortcuts to enlightenment or wisdom. each stone, a testament to the journey back to the essence, invites us to reflect, grow, and cherish the impermanence that defines our mortal voyage.
