SACRED  PLACES

There is a certain pause and awe

when entering or going by sacred places:

The white cross with a name 

on it along the side of a road....

The place of the first kiss - which

became the place where we gave
the engagement ring - surprise....

Certain benches in certain churches....


The beach looking out to the ocean - early morning - especially sunrise ....


A cemetery with a hill with many granite stones....


Reaching the top of a high hill or mountain....


Milk and chocolate chip cookies with grandma....


An old bicycle in a garage ....


A boat or railroad whistle in the distance ....


The father walks down the aisle with his daughter on her wedding day ....


Touching a casket at a funeral of a loved one....


Leaving the hospital holding one's newborn first baby ....


Walking down the aisle - after a funeral service - as pallbearer to one's closest friend of 43 years....


Thanksgiving Dinner 2016 with the whole family....
