Look at yourself-just today you approached a parked car in the middle of nowhere on foot looking like a car jacker. You scared the man so much that he wouldn't roll down his window. The man could have been frightened into taking preemptive action like shooting you. Or do you believe that Texans don't carry guns for self defense?

Don't worry about me,others have to no avail. I see all the possible dangers and perils the future can hold for others and myself and anguish over them. For myself, I can take safeguards, but for others I can only warn and worry.

Throughout ...This posting presents a puzzle to me. Throughout the walk, cemetaries have evoked a sense of peace in you. You seem to appreciate that the populations are at rest and free from the pain and sorrow of daily life. Now the Claybar Haven of Rest evokes a sense of grief and sadness. Is it your grief and sadness for the dead who had their lives and dreams cut short or who suffered "hard deaths" with lots of pain, suffering, panting, gasping and writhing in a vain attempt to hold on to the last moments of life as the Reaper slowly cut them down? Or do you feel the grief and sadness suffered by the families and friends left behind to mourn until they are no longer capable of sustaining their emotions? Why did this cemetary affect yoo in this way? AnguishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
