Cemetery gates

3/9/2007 1:18:00 AM

Here's a tip for those of you who haven't decided what to do this Easter.

I know it's a cliché but try spending a day at a cemetery. Take a big bottle of water and go to, say, Père-Lachaise in Paris. Reserve a whole day for this. Walk slowly. Read the tombstones, study them carefully. Think about your life. What would you want to leave behind? It's a strange process, profoundly heeling.

When you leave the cemetery, you feel very alive. And that's a promise.
