Walking in a Cemetery
I hestiate to write an article on walking in a cemetery; however, I’m going to do it anyway. When my parents were alive they lived right across the street from the most beautiful cemetery I have ever seen. So many people put beautiful flowers on their loved ones grave, plant memorial trees, have beautiful monuments and a pave driveway throughout the cemetery.
When I would visit my parents I was always amazed how many neighborhood people were walking in the cemetery for their physical exercise. They would walk up and down each driveway and some of them would point to the flowers, the trees or the monuments that stood out. We have to admit that the environment is peaceful and quiet which permits the brain to relax and refocus. The area was not congested by automobiles or stop lights. One could just take a walk, either fast or slow, and I think the walkers felt refrshed because everyday they were back in the cemetery walking once again.
I have talked several times about always finding new paths/streets to explore in your walking so it does not become routine. You need to look for new streets to walk; new nature paths to explore and now I will add to the list for you to consider walking in a cemetery as a new walking experience. Just something to think about, but above all else, do not do it if it makes you sad. I have always enjoyed walking in the cemetery across the street from my parents because the flowers always reminds me that even in death someone will love me enough to leave beautiful flowers.
