I do wonder if there is more space in that " computer brain of yours" for all the knowledge you have acquired and comtinue to. As long as this knowledge is shared, you can upload even more and shine during the night and the star having your name this time aroud will be seen even when it won't be there ; the light will travel in space and reach lands unknown to many.
This poem made me think of you today. If I decide to leave, may I come visit you. Huh? My first thought is Rio. After that, I wanted to go to Italy. The U.S. is tiresome. By the way, I posted a song for you as well this morning. But here is the poem that popped into my mind when I thought of you. I have absolutely no idea why. Maybe because you live at the top of the world, far, far, far away from the United States:
Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon the rocks, Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks, By shallow rivers to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses And a thousand fragrant posies, A cap of flowers, and a kirtle Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool Which from our pretty lambs we pull; Fair lined slippers for the cold, With buckles of th purest gold;
A belt of straw and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs: And if these pleasures may thee move, Come live with me and be my love.
The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing For thy delight each May morning: If these delights thy mind may move, Then live with me and be my love.
The Passionate Shepherd to His Love Christopher Marlowe
I think he did an exceptionally good job on this piece. What do you think? I wonder what this is like in Danish.
I am sending you an invitation to my group, We all Write! You think I am letting you get away? I am NOT going to allow this content to NOT be published in my group. So expect an invitation. There is someone else. Wait. I'll send an email.
By the way, I need to get an international clock. I do not know whether to tell you, good evening, good night, or what time of the day it is in Kovenhavn.
