descansa en paz
For about ten years, I would stop at every roadside memorial that I saw (traffic and other conditions permitting). Then one day, it seemed like I was finished with that and ready to move on.
But still, every now and then, I’ll see a memorial that calls to me, as this one did along a lonely stretch of a remote road.

It makes me sad to think that someone’s life ended here, under the vast and beautiful New Mexican sky and along the gently curving highway.
