Memorial Day weekend, time for barbecues, parties, sales, (which means lots of shopping), and perhaps getting drunk and abusing a loved one.... it happens. And this is to commemorate what?
Many years ago I was driving up a road in the Ventura hills, it was Memorial Day. The sun had just set to reveal a gigantic moon.
I was immediately overtaken by the image of unmarked graves, the kind you see in military cemeteries, row after row after row, all bathed in the light of that giant moon that was now following me as I drove. I saw ghosts emerging from those graves, beautiful men, all looking too young to be dead, all silver grey from the the light of the moon. Everything in the vision was silver grey; everything in the vision was dead.
I hope you had a Happy Memorial Day.
