This photograph was taken in Wheeling, West Virginia by Lorie Kash and appeared on the Appalachian Americans Facebook page. It is being used here without their permission, but I'm hoping that that's okay because this photograph says so much to me. I don't imagine that I'll be buried after I die, but if I were to be buried then I want to be buried in West Virginia or Appalachia and in a place where deer could safely rest on top of me and nuzzle against my tombstone and coal would be under me and where people and animals could feel the seasons change.
A place where phlox would grow.
