Open Space gives birth to infinite possibility - Harrison calls magic. To
all you magicians...thank you - on this day
Abraham Lincoln declared "Thanksgiving". I'm thankful for all the
magic...what was, what is and what will be.

Lincoln's Declaration of Thanksgiving as a National Holiday, 1863

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven, we have been
preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in
numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown.

But we have forgotten God.  We have forgotten the gracious hand which
preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us and we
have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these
blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to
feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to
the God that made us.

It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly,
reverently and gratefully  acknowledged as with one heart and one voice, by
the whole American people.  I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in
every part of the United States, and also who are at sea and those who are
sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of
November as a Day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who
dwelleth in the heavens.
