[Excerpts]
14 July 1861
Camp Clark, Washington [D.C.]
My very dear Sarah:
The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days -- perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write again, I feel impelled to write a few lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more....
I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly American civilization now leans on the triumph of the Government, and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and sufferings of the Revolution. And I am willing -- perfectly willing -- to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this Government, and to pay that debt....
Sarah my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break; and yet my love of Country comes over me like a strong wind and bears me unresistibly on with all these chains to the battle field.
The memories of the blissful moments I have spent with you come creeping over me, and I feel most gratified to God and to you that I have enjoyed them so long. And hard it is for me to give them up and burn to ashes the hopes of future years, when, God willing, we might still have lived and loved together, and seen our sons grown up to honorable manhood, around us. I have, I know, but few and small claims upon Divine Providence, but something whispers to me -- perhaps it is the wafted prayer of my litle Edgar, that I shall return to my loved ones unharmed. If I do not my dear Sarah, never forget how much I love you, and when my last breath escapes me on the battle field, it will whisper your name. Forgive my many faults, and the many pains I have caused you. How thoughtless and foolish I have often times been! How gladly would I wash out with my tears every little spot upon your happiness....
But, O Sarah! if the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the gladdest days and in the darkest nights . . . always, always, and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath[;] as the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by. Sarah do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for thee, for we shall meet again....
[The war began one week later on the plains of Manassas, Virginia. Major Sullivan Ballou of the 2nd Rhode Island Infantry died there at the battle of Bull Run.]

Dear friends
People often worry about me because of the themes in my photos...
In most of my photos, I don't just talk about myself, I talk about feelings, life, the world... They are emotions, not always the ones I feel at the moment... A phrase, song or theme that I like...
Thank you for the affection!♥

[Was going to put the original Traffic cut from the 1967 classic album, but cannot resist any of Stevie and Eric's set from this amazing super session. An appropriate tune, methinks, for a very quiet evening walk upon a slowly thawing lake...]
I'm breaking up with you.
I think it's time I start seeing other seasons.
Summer is hotter than you. ..

The original black and white! Dear Amos is somewhat past his prime and has recurrent rhinitis problems. He spends most of his life asleep or complaining. Spoilt rotten of course.
I've been a good girl this year. Mostly. Sometimes. Once.
Nevermind, I'll buy my own stuff.

Dear me,
I´m sorry that you tried so desperately to fix others, when your own hands are shaking. I´m sorry that I didn´t give you enough time to heal, that I let you seal the wounds of everyone else while your own where bleeding. I´m sorry that there were days when smilling hurt but you forced yourself to laugh so that no one had to worry about you.
I´m sorry that you gave all of your time and effort to people that didn´t give the same amount back.
I´m sorry that there were nights when you cried yourself to sleep and no one bothered to understand why.
And I am so sorry that I did not love you, like you deserved to be loved.

I like being independent
Not so much of an investment
No one to tell me what to do
I like being by myself
Don't gotta entertain anybody else
No one to answer to
But sometimes, I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me the jacket when it's cold
Got that young love even when we're old
Yeah, sometimes, I want someone to grab my hand
Pick me up, pull me close, be my man
I will love you till the end
So if you're out there, I swear to be good to you
But I'm done lookin' for my future someone
'Cause when the time is right
You'll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song
Ooh oh oh
I don't really like big crowds
I tend to shut people out
I like my space, yeah
But I'd love to have a soul mate
And God'll give him to me someday
And I know it'll be worth the wait
So if you're out there, I swear to be good to you
But I'm done lookin' for my future someone
'Cause when the time is right
You'll be here, but for now
Dear no one (Dear nobody), this is your love song...
❤💕❤
