as my Beloved and I make a trip to the Santa Fe Veterans's Cemetery.
I will not be hunting treasure, as I will instead be treasuring the memory of those who went before me. Those who gave their lives in service to our great country.
For those who gave their lives, for those who went missing and were never found, for those whose names are engraved in stone... on so many many headstones, plaques, black granite walls, memorials, and for those whose names are known only to God.
To you, the dead, we give honor and thanks. to you the living, who are in uniform, we also give thanks. We may squabble among ourselves, we may fight and complain, but we have these freedoms because you are in uniform, defending and protecting us.
May the Divine, however you conceive of it, whether mighty deity or creative spark within you, watch over you, keep you in safety and respect.
May you all have a meaningful Memorial Day.
