Several years ago I began a photo project documenting roadside memorials throughout Minnesota. I consider these memorials to be markers of sacred ground - the location where someone drew their last breath and their soul was set free. They are at once tragic and yet also full of beauty. I do not know the people who are honored with these memorials; yet, when one is on my path, I try to stop, send wishes to their loved ones for peace, and pay respect to that sacred place. The memorials serve not only as reminders of a specific person, but as reminders to all to drive with care, to treasure life, and to live in this moment. As the Memorial holiday approaches, my wish is that each of you will have moments to remember all those you love and that your travels will be safe. Happy Memorial day.
