This is my "extra blog."
I went to the Lakeview, Roselawn and Tiger Flowers cemetery complex for this fieldtrip, and I stayed there for at least 40 minutes.

I suffered mosquito bites, ant bites, sweat stains, and mild driving anxiety...and I was thoroughly interested. =~)

I reflected most of the time, sang a couple of rifts to comfort the silent, sleeping crowd around me, and read a few passages.  I even let a mental picture slip, one of Lewis standing over his wife's grave, contemplating his very same words that I read.  In a way, I suppose, I had touched Lewis.

This reminds me of one of the saddest thoughts I had while I was there.  A few marriage plots lay here or there, a husband and wife beside each other even unto death.  And yet, there was he in his coffin and she in hers.  In reality, they would never really ever be together again.  They would never know one another's touch and they would never even look into each other's eyes again, a sure place to find the love you love to love the most.

And then, as my trip drew to a close, I said goodbye.
