Tomorrow the semi-lockdown in Amsterdam will be officially over. I have visited six different cemeteries in my area during these past ten weeks.

Cemeteries are wonderful places to visit, especially during times of social distancing. Have you visited any in your area lately?

One of my favorite graves at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in LA is that of Edward Lee Bredekamp. Edward was only 37 when he died. He had a big passion for music and was a talented guiter player, in fact he is actually buried together with one of his guitars.

Interview - @glynsmyth - Art and the Nature of the Human Condition:
"I’m comfortable with accepting the mystery of it all. I do think that we perhaps are in some kind of “school” at times, that we have chosen this experience."

Still from my first youtube video - What is Death

Still from my first youtube video - What is Death Awareness? "We are all going to die one day. Since the very beginning of human existence, people have been confronted with death. In this video I explain about the history of 'memento mori', the origins of the death awareness movement."

"Our language and limited perception lead us to looking at “life” & “death” as polarities, when they may not be at all - it just looks that way through human eyes."

Mortsafe at Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh. These heavy iron constructions were invented in 1816 and were meant to protect the dead from bodysnatchers. The contraption would be placed around the coffin and sealed with an iron plate and padlocks, for the duration of six weeks, until the body had sufficiently decomposed. Families could rent a mortsafe to be put around their loved ones grave, to safe them from damnation - as during the 1820's, bodysnatchers were digging up fresh corpses to sell to doctors and medical schools so they could be used in anatomy lessons.
In 1832 the Anatomy Act made it legal for anatomist to obtain unclaimed corpses and bodysnatching became a less popular sidejob for medical students.
