Calvary Cemetery

This next post may come off as a little odd; however, after I explain hopefully it will seem a little less strange, or maybe not. Driving around the surrounding area here by Eastern University I often find myself passing the Calvary Cemetery. This cemetery has many tombstones laid out over the hills and at the top of the main hill there is a huge cement cross. Even though this may sound creepy, I think that sitting next to that huge cross would be a very calming experience.
To be able to look out at all of the tombstones and wonder just how many impacts these people have had or great things these people have done. The things that they must have seen over their life time and the experiences they have had. It really makes you think just how fast times goes by. That at some point mostly all those people who are now resting in the ground were once the same age you are today. Life goes by faster than one can fully grasp and every once and awhile it is important to just get away from the chaos, take a step back, and escape.
