Sheltering in Place

[King Bob]

Today is the one year anniversary of my mom's death so we went to the church to place some flowers. They gave me a key to the columbarium (not a word that gets much use). It's a little fenced in area under the church (which is on a hillside) with ceramic art flanking the gate saying "The sun shall not smite me by day / Nor the moon by night" so I of course I always think of Bob Marley - and DM. There's a little fake stream and I was disappointed it wasn't running, but right when we were about to leave it came on. I suppose the lady in the office who gave me the key flipped the switch; I can't imagine they set a timer for 11:20. Or it was ghosts. Unfortunately the engraver who made the plaques for the niches went out of business during the pandemic so her's is blank.
