You’re so right about the US having the mindset of just moving on. It’s insane how quickly everyone managed to just pick back up where we left off. I think so many of us have internalized the fear/discomfort of what had happened

Interesting thought. If it gets pushed inside and we don’t know what that fear/discomfort is about - it has become a world view without any rational action to take to address the pain.

Such a beautiful piece! I like walking around cemeteries. We have several lovely Victorian era rural cemeteries here in Upstate NY where we sometimes go for long dog walks.

Thank you for this. County Kerry is so beautiful. It is true there are many stories of the folks buried that one can only imagine when visiting the cemetery. I also wish the US would remember..... not just the COVID deaths but the country's state 4 years ago when our President at the time drove a wedge that still continues between two political parties with violence and hateful statements. I hope we are not mourning the death of our country in the short few months ahead.
