glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- green burial It is 12:50 PM Tuesday afternoon. A gloomy day here by Lake Michigan. A good day for a ship to sink to the bottom of Lake Michigan. I did find the strength this morning to go get my new sweat pants at our local Penny's Department store. I remember one of the first things Carol and I did when were newly married was walk to downtown Grand Rapids Penny's Department store and get a Penny's charge card. I still have a coat we brought from those early days of married life from Penny's. I hate to get rid of anything from our Past together. I still have an old Army coat from my High School days hanging down in the lower level. I told Carol to bury me in that old Army coat. I want to have a Green Burial meaning dig a hole under a tree and place my lifeless body in the ground. I do not want to be buried in a coffin. I want to be united in death with the earth to wait the Final Resurrection. While I was out running around I stopped at three thrift stores to look at their used books. I found these used books to ADD to our library. "Troubled Sleep" a novel by Jean-Paul Sartre "Wild Child And Other Stories" by T. C. Boyle "Fall On Your Knees" a novel by Ann-Marie MacDonald "The Secret History" a novel by Donna Tartt I came home early because I was feeling out of it. I did not want to push myself too hard due to being sick. I suppose I will close to drift through the afternoon hours. Existence keeps flowing by.
