Great story telling, with a personal seal stamped on it. It has quite a fatalist acceptance that life and death are intertwined and you cannot have one without the other. And indeed life and death are a cycle. I can clearly see a relationship between someone who has died ans some one who is alive. There is always a connection because we are all part of a series of continuous events. I see that numbers are important in your narrative, that they dictate some inter-relation between different people in different times. Your narration has provoked my thinking on numbers as related to the human experience. My thoughts on the matter are quite simple and basic. I see numbers as a series of indicators that start with the 0 and finish with the 9. That in itself is a complete series, a complete story. I would liken the zero to the beginning of life and the 9 as the end of life. All subsequent numbers can be all be reduced to one of the numbers in the series of 0 to 9 - which very much points out to the myth of Sisyphus. One can easily see that many cultures have given specific meanings to specific numbers. So be it, because some cultures do not process the notion of numbers but rather they rely on relative quantities, such a few or many. Indeed we are all fascinated with numbers in one way or another, and are inclined to do a number on them.
Second lovely piece of writing. Well written and easy to read through. Yet again takes you on another snippet of one of you many journeys and story's. Lovely way of describing the Victorian cemetery where everyone has their own version and story of it. Keep it up want to read more
