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....
