WILLIAMSBURG VA

This is the Governor's Palace at Williamsburg VA. If you go through it, and go out back near the gardens, on the left hand side, you will find a very quite, secluded little grassy area, surrounded by a stone wall and trees. When you walk in, it is very quite and very peaceful. It is as if a quite hush falls over you as you enter. You feel so peaceful. I remember remarking that it reminded me of a lovers hide-away. When I went to leave, I noticed a little sign that said, that during the battle of Yorktown, this building had been used as a American field hospital, for the wounded of Yorktown Battle. Many years later, as they were renovating the Palace for the town of Williamsburg, they found over a hundred bodies, both men and women, buried here in a mass unmarked grave. As soon as I read that, I understood the feelings of peacefulness and oneness that came over me as I entered those grounds. Again it was the same as other battlefields that I have entered. It is so peaceful. It is holy ground. That is the only way I can describe it.
