Cemetery Appreciation

I am sitting in a cemetery appreciating the people that have come before us.

Straight ahead I see a heart-shaped grave stone that reads HELEN L MASIAS beloved wife mother & Grandmother. I notice she lived quite a long time. April 16, 1930–April 20, 2014.

I am lying on a bench someone had made for her. It has a quote etched on the top of it that says, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls."
             -Helen Lujan Masias

I find this quote very interesting to think about. I have so many questions. What do we need to learn from her? By reading this quote and taking her thoughts to consideration will we really have rest in our souls?

I also notice some of the grave stones have flowers, trinkets, all kinds of random, yet meaningful objects. But some don't have one thing placed by its side.

All I can think about is setting something on every single grave stone to show gratitude.
