Chapel reflection

The stone work was quite impressive at the chapel. It was great to see the care to detail and planning for yet another part of Spring Grove. I found it interesting that many of us shared the same experience of being gawked at by passersby in differing cemeteries around Cincinnati. I suppose it is an odd occurrence to spot someone strolling through a cemetery and not be apart of a funeral procession. Or maybe it is the association that the person the onlookers see, a mirror image of them - no one escapes death or the pain of losing loved ones; we are alike in this. If you are going about your daily routine and you notice someone reminding you of loss and mortality in an unusual way, it could be unsettling.
