Eureka Cemetery & Mausoleum

11/20/2020

Our Cemetery Manager, Kharizma and her husband, went on vacation and visited some historic cemeteries in Pennsylvania. This cemetery in Lexington, PA still has a very active church! The cemetery was established around the same time as Eureka Cemetery & Mausoleum in the last 1800's.

“Wild Geese”
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.

Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
-Mary Oliver
