Cemetery #121

We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a result, men are valued not for what they are but for what they do or what they have - for their usefulness. Thomas Merton

For me, a cemetery is a place of deeply personal comfort and quiet. It's a place to reflect. I've been "away" from Merton in my thoughts for many months now but he oddly, always seems relevant. I felt a little closer to what Merton discusses - finding your authentic self - when I was in the cemetery, taking pics.
