There will come a time in a few hundred years when some girl or guy will be standing at an office window overlooking the cemetery you lie in. She will not be concentrating on your last and final resting place as your last and final resting place, she will be thinking about how she wishes she could leave work and photograph the stones in the weird light of the day, as she is not sure she will get another opportunity to do it before the weather turns sour again.
She will be looking at the bare trees surrounding you and wondering when the leaves will return t ocast what she is sure will be fascinating shadows on the ground that has been so obviously and badly paved.
Just as her mind turns to the question of who these markers commemorate she will be called away to complete some task or another.
And your body will lie sleeping as your spirit soars in the heavens, safe in the knowledge that there is no beginning and no end.

Selma - For some reason I have a song by the Brand New Heavies running through my head. A 1990s earworm - I think i’ll keep hold of it! My writing so needs to improve. Can’t believe how hard it is to get going again!
Penelope - Sigh… not my office. Was doing a little something IT-y for our office in Blackburn yesterday. I do have a good view from our office in Preston though.of WInckley Square - and one day I’ll take better pictures! In fact I’ll do it tomorrow - if I remember… which is unlikely… memory like a sieve at the mo!
