Although I am writing about Green-Wood Cemetery, just about any park-like cemetery with magnificent ancient trees, winding paths and wild flowers might be more convenient, because Green-Wood Cemetery is located in Brooklyn, New York.
Wherever your destination for contemplation or meditation, I suggest that like any other outdoor excursion, that you bring a bottle of water.

So sit down and center yourself and release the cares of the day that are shouldering your thoughts and weighting you down. Breathe in the clean un-polluted air and clear your mind for a refreshing meditation that releases you from the mind wrenching grip of the city.
