Love.

I love walking through cemeteries. 
I love seeing the dedications, the poems, the love that exists between people even after life ends. I love the silence, the peacefulness, and I enjoy taking the time to wipe off pine needles, moss, branches off stones to be able to see peoples words which nature has covered over time. 
I want people I don't even know - to feel visited. 
On this particular stone, there was a lot of dried moss caught in all the letters which made the gravestone very hard to read...I started pulling the moss off and came across these words which gave me pause.
"In Tenderness and Trust"
This for me truly sums up Love.
