Tears in the Rain 

I''ve seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter down the dark near Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments lost in time, like tears... in the rain

...Time to die. 

From the film Bladerunner, based on a story, Do Adroids Dream of Electric Sheep?, written by Phillip K. Dick in 1968. He died at 53 four months before the release of Bladerunner.  Paraphrased.

 

Underlined verse in Peggy's God's Promises for when you are hurting by Jack Countryman 1915.

Romans 14:7-8

                      I remember Peggy.

View from Peggy's family stone, with the flag, where our ashes will be co-mingled. 

Bob Dylan

 Longer than alive

“The first thing you notice about New Orleans are the burying grounds - the cemeteries - and they're a cold proposition, one of the best things there are here. Going by, you try to be as quiet as possible, better to let them sleep. Greek, Roman, sepulchres- palatial mausoleums made to order, phantomesque, signs and symbols of hidden decay - ghosts of women and men who have sinned and who've died and are now living in tombs. The past doesn't pass away so quickly here.
You could be dead for a long time”
― Bob Dylan

“Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs;
Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes
Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth,
Let's choose executors and talk of wills”
― William Shakespeare, Richard II

Qeustions with answers not yet

Life is so short, it is hard to account of all the missing time, and missing people. So where are we going? Why do we see the short comings of the past so clearly too late? Why are there so many questions? New ones arise in the night. Why have so many lived and are now gone in a wisp of time without comprehension?
