A Walk in the Park with the Spirits of the Faithful Departed?

The Secret Sun: Temples of the Necropolis

After seeing and hearing Chris Knowles' Secret Sun post where he and a comedian named Eric take a stroll through a memorial park in America, posted just after a post I wrote about a walk I took through a Lions memorial park on the other side of the planet in Australia on an island just below Fraser Island off the Queensland coast -

Shortcuts on the Path?

I thought that I would write this post about ironically stumbling across a park opposite the Bribie Island RSL club when I was looking to find out where Buckley's Hole was on the island.

Dates with Destiny?

Circled are the Butterfly House, Buckley's Hole and the RSL

I'm not a member of the Bribie Island RSL, but I am a member of an RSL club in New South Wales.

I'm certainly no fan of wars and I believe Vietnam was a war we were sucked into by America, along with a few other recent ones, but I still feel for the soldiers who probably didn't know what they were fighting for and paid for it with their lives, limbs and mental health.

I must say that I love lighthouses, but I'm no admirer of dicks.

And just for the record Chris, how would you build a practical lighthouse structure that didn't in someone's mind remind them of a dick?

Sometimes a lighthouse is just a cigar:-)

Did Chris just see a moth at this
 point in the conversation?-)

I also took a walk in a butterfly house on Bribie Island just after midday, so to hear Chris say, "well this is how empires collapse, because ... oooh, that's a pretty moth..." made me think of my visit and all the colourful butterflies I saw, but also how moths are attracted to "the Light":-)

Funny old world Chris, isn't it?

More questions than answers it seems?

While Eric sounds like he is a bit of a clown in that talk, you do make some good points Chris, but don't drown in those dark mental waters you seem to be swimming in lately.
