FOOTSTONES (from my Ledger history newsletter)

Embraced inside the old brick walls at the corner of fifth and Arch is a serene and peaceful escape from our busy modern world. These sacred and historic two acres are ample "food for meditation". Wandering among the broken and faded headstones is like dancing with the whispers of our past. Beyond the sound of coins being tossed on the grave of Benjamin Franklin, is the sound of the dreams, hopes and desires of thousands of people whose names we may never know. Lost to the naked eye is the energy and emotion that can only be captured and collected in a painting or a song. Each day we celebrate and honor the lives of all those buried inside this very special and unique place.
