During one of my last visits to this cemetery, just a short trip from my parents’ home, I had parked my car below the circular drive ringing the crown of the hill overlooking the later plots below. I had set out then just as this day, to take photographs. This particular stretch pictured above has remained unchanged with not one stone unmolested by impetuous impulse. On that late afternoon in mid autumn some 25 years ago, as I returned to my car I heard the sound of cracking timber, then witnessed a large tree branch plummet a few short feet ahead of the front bumper, completely blocking my car’s passage to the exit. While I am not a superstitious person, this is the food of fable, and I recall embellishing various iterations of the event to anyone who would listen.
I have recently returned to my hometown, and I am beginning to visit my previous haunts, though I know not why I chose to begin with this spot. As I said, it is near my parents’ home. It was also not lost on me that a pub was located nearby on this balmy August afternoon, and would offer a
comfortable place to mull over these words. Daily I am visited by unkind voices, voices to heed things which I refuse to believe. Perhaps I wished to replace those with the voices of others with different perspectives, others with words of wisdom carrying melodies dancing through the madness, having
the ability to make any willing listener see as if for the very first time.
I think my next haunt will be a local jazz bar that I remember fondly. On one of my last visits there many years ago I was served by a young woman, unfamiliar to me in her role as bartender, but with whom I had a romantic past. I was not struck by her failure to recognize me, but rather by her failure to remember me after my attempt to prompt her recollection. Bitter was that
drink, but I digress.
While I knew that the 1995 was on the way I had no idea what was ahead of it so each eastbound arrival was greeted with tense anticipation!

I'm not sure what should be done with all this fruit growing on our quince bushes. I suppose if I were more industrious, I'd find out. But for now, I just like the looks of these things right where they are.
