my grandmother's tombstone

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

St. Catharines, 2003.04.20

I went with my mother to St. Kitts for Easter with the Masterson clan. We visited my grandmother's tombstone in a cemetery there. It was my first visit, though I lived about a kilometer away for two years. It was good to see. I hope to have my grandfather's name added to the stone.

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.

—Antoine de Saint-Exupery
