| | Lincoln County Cemetery < on 11/10/2008 3:26 PM >
| | | I was in New Mexico this weekend and had a chance to stop by the Lincoln County Cemetery. The cemetery has dozens of graves marked only with rocks for the headstones, as well as graves of people who fought in the Civil War, and some a little more recent. Lincoln County was the site of the Lincoln County War, which involved Billy the Kid. I was only there for 20 minutes or so, so the pics are nothing to sneeze at, but they are interesting (I think anyway). This is the cemetery. All the seemingly random rocks you see are headstones. No names are on them.
This tree seemed to have grown in between these four graves.
Pal of Billy the Kid

| | | I want a limestone headstone -- there's something poetic in the way they eventually melt away with rain and the passage of time. Though a wooden cross is an even more forceful statement on the impermanence of life. Of course, I'm hoping that any headstone will be merely symbolic. My post-mortem goal is to go on a world tour.
J'ai toujours fait une prière à Dieu, qui est fort courte. La voici: "Mon Dieu, rendez nos ennemis bien ridicules!" Dieu m'a exaucé. |
