“GRAVEYARDS, ALL” <\/span><\/h1>\n

by Desmond Kelly “Star of eLanka”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"desmond<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

When we talk of graveyards, our thoughts immediately wander to places like Kanatta in Lanka and, of course, there are many more, even in that little Island, “The botanical – garden Necropolis” in Springvale, Victoria & dozens more in this “giant” of a Country, graveyards here & graveyards there, pleasant places, nowadays, in comparison to the “rat-race” outside, places where “people” can rest, and not have a care in the World anymore. Actually, people are now “dying to get there”.<\/span><\/p>\n

What a morbid way to start a very interesting “story”. Cut it out!!Kelly, & let us get down to the “nitty-gritty” of the “theme”. The following e’mail was sent to me, by another good friend & “entertainer” who, like me is still a long way from the “garden of rest”, because it is also a well-known fact that “only the good, die young”. Arthur Speldewinde ( I’m sure he won’t mind me mentioning his name, anyway, it’s too late now, Art.), sends out these e’mails that are most interesting, from time to time, which, I am certain, he would like to share with my readers on “eLanka”(now, fast becoming<\/span>
\na household name, both in Sri Lanka & Australia).<\/span><\/p>\n

There is nothing morbid about these graveyards.<\/span>
\nEveryone knows, or should know, that EVERYONE and EVERYTHING created by God has a LIFE-SPAN. The only exception are the “atheists” who do not believe in God. I do not have a clue as to WHO created them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, the fact is that, from the littlest ant to the hugest piece of machinery ever built, there is a beginning and an end. God is the one & only CREATOR.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those who don’t believe me, in Lanka, can go and jump into the Kelani-river, and my Lankan\/Aussie mates can dive headfirst into the Yarra-river.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, for those of you who believe Arthur & myself, please peruse the following. It makes for fascinating reading & for those who can’t read, LOOK AT THE PICTURES.<\/span><\/p>\n
