our bones that are here await yours

Capela dos ossos, Evora, Portugal.

"Nós ossos que aqui estamos pelos vossos esperamos" that's the inscription above the chapel doors as you enter.

Death is something we all think about, whether a lot or a little, often or rarely. I'd heard and seen photos of this chapel and wanted to pay a visit, even though the town Evora isn't very worthwhile, the chapel alone was worth it I felt. The lighting is dark and moody, the atmosphere solemn, but there I felt a sense of peace. I felt like if my little sack of bones can contribute to the building such a place, then it's all worthwhile. Not for religious reasons, but for the way the place forces you to face death and to think about it.

On my driver's license, I selected to donate all of me if a fatal accident would happen.
