Some things… you try and catch a photo of, and you can’t.
You fiddle with the settings, try different angles, to flash or not to flash… and eventually you realise that the moment you are trying to capture, the feelings/sensations you want to remember cannot be caught by a digital imitation.
There is a sacred quiet here in the graveyard.
Birds calling to one another, the rhythmic hum of motorway traffic and constructive sounds of industry form a backdrop to the peace in this place.
The headstones tilt at varying angles nestled in between trees and ferns, some messy and cracked, some maintained and others washed smoothly illegible by the rains of time.
I am somehow nestled in too here in the grass at the edge. I understand my place in the order of things and perhaps glimpse the rest that will one day be mine.
There is no striving in this place.
Striving is meaningless.
Here, for a moment, I am content to be.
Little black robins dart among the meadow daisies sun-blushed pink tips.
