Description I stopped this morning on my drive home - north up Vancouver Island, from Swartz Bay to Nanaimo, a familiar route - to visit the St. Ann's Church, Quamichan - Duncan, BC. For many years we (JoJo's Emporium) have been merchants at the music festival nearby at Providence Farm. The Quamichan cemetery has been on my radar for nearly a decade. An uncertain early sun struggled through high cloud. I walked over the damp grass, making barely a sound. I was struck by the number of children - my heart broke and was lifted, moment after moment. For an hour, I drifted among the graves. The adage applied: time out of mind (“That through time out of mind there were wont many diverse ships to come in to the said haven” - 1432 ). Someone's hat marks their resting place - and it felt like a place of rest. For an hour, St. Ann's cemetery became respite from the overload of our new century. A faded red bandana wrapped around a cross - animals and symbols - names and dates - slowly returning to the earth. Eagles and wolves. Totems. Accumulation. One grave marker said it all - Love Always.
