Memorials of all sorts
This evening I placed one of the 
motogrrl Memorial Geocoins, at karenbynight's request. I picked here and now for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it's approaching the end of the world up here, nearing the bounds of where there is to go (if you're going north).
Another reason (the when) is that today would be her birthday. I held on to the coin until now, rather than placing it earlier, because it felt special to me. I have no idea if it was special to her or not but if it was, I hope she was watching.
The bigger 'here' related reason is that the coin reads "We shall not cease from exploring". If there is anything we do here it is to push ahead in exploration. Of this planet, of the next, and on into the everything. Due to that, there are also memorials here for each of the Columbia Astronauts. The cache holding the memorial coin is overlooked (as is camp) by the Inukshuk memorializing Rick Husband.
Explorers, adventurers, lovers of doing and thinking, learning and discovering. They gather here, in body or in spirit. I hope that I have added another piece to that energy.
I'm not going to lock this, feel free to link, I know I don't know anything approaching the number of people who loved Leigh Ann.
