[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....

[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...]

won't you cover, cover me again?

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day

The sun is up, the sky is blue

It's beautiful, and so are you

Dear Prudence, won't you come out and play

 

Dear Prudence, open up your eyes

Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies

The wind is low, the birds will sing

That you are part of everything

Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?

 

Look around

Look around

Look around

Look around

 

Dear Prudence, let me see you smile

Dear Prudence, like a little child

The clouds will be a daisy chain

So let me see you smile again

Dear Prudence, won't you let me see you smile?

 

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day

The sun is up, the sky is blue

It's beautiful, and so are you

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play

 

Look around round round round round

Look around round round round round

Look around round round round round

Oh, look around, look around

 

Look around round round round round

Look around round round round round

Look around around

Oh, Look around around

 

Look around round round round round

Look around round round round round

Please watch the video.

First chapter....

 

Dear Future Generations,

I think I speak for the rest of us when I say

Sorry, sorry we left you with our mess of a planet

Sorry that we were too caught up in our own doings to do something

Sorry we listened to people who made excuses

To do nothing

I hope you forgive us

We just didn’t realize how special the earth was

Like a marriage going wrong

We didn’t know what we had until it was gone....

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...

❤💕❤

 

Dear ladies, unfortunately I will disappoint you, to your question, what is the essence of quantum theory and the theory of relativity, I must answer that I do not know :(

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune

Something to make us all happy

Do anything take us out of this gloom

Sing a song, play guitar

Make it snappy

Dear future… This one is for you. The last sunrise of 2016, taken on Lake Tyrrell, Australia.

‍Dear Friends!

 

In connection with the redistribution of the world order, my channels of communication with people have decreased! Facebook, Instagram, Twitter are already disabled… Telegram and Flickr are left. In the event of the withdrawal of these funds, I will have to switch to radio channels. Frequencies will be indicated later! All the best! Listen Wave!!!📡

Thank you, Moon Rabbit for being one of the first few sponsors that took me in your team. When I see the notice of "New product" from you, I always get excited as you put in so much passion and effort in creating something special. You have always been such a sweet and kind person. I wish for every success to come to you cause you deserve it! ❤️

 

The next few post will be posts of gratitude to all of my sponsors (be it current or past) as I will no longer be active in SecondLife anymore.
