Dear Seth,

I'm just so tired tonight and it's only 10:14 pm. I did a lot of walking in Charleston and had a great time too. Here is what went on.


Today I've seen the most amazing things in my life. Never again will I have an experience like this.
After I had gotten off the bus a few blocks from where I was I decided to take a street that I had not yet. Walking down this street I come to a very old graveyard on church grounds.
The path leading to the graveyard was made for two walking side by side, I was by myself. Looking up the trees were dripping with moss. The place looked like right out of the movie Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil.
The graveyard looked old and forgotten with weeds and flowers twining in and out of plots and some right in the middle, it wasn't. I was so stunned to find a place that looked so breath takingly beautiful in all my living years, a place that is usually a place of grief was a place of wonder for me. And if you must know no I am not morbid.
Reading and reflecting on the lives of each and every stone that I could, really unable to comprehend what they went through. Most passing away in the mid to late 1700's and a few war heros from the Civil War. Totally mind blowing.
I'm glad that I made the decision to go down a road that I had never been down.


I hope you have a great night. Sweet dreams.

p.s. I love you
