On Saturday I went for a short walk and ended up walking through Ash Cemetery which is just down the road from our house. I am not a morbid sort of character but was deeply moved by some of the inscriptions that I saw.
- A pair of plaques with the same date marking the grave of twins who had died, aged two.
- Grandparents who would be remembered by their grandchildren.
- Sad messages which also spoke of love and hope.
All matter will approach absolute zero in temperature, all life will have long since disappeared. Everything around us decays. Life ends in death.
