Design

Amorella here. A very famous building in the United States, President Jefferson’s home, Monticello. Spiritually, in orndorff’s mind, it has a classical feel to it. 

I like the columns because they represent reason. And, reason is a spiritual quality because higher reasoning is human to me.

Yesterday you visited President Madison’s home, Montpelier, which is still being renovated. He is called the father of the Declaration of Independence, a spiritual document in your mind. And, you ate lunch at a well-known ca. 1784 inn called Michie Tavern. Then, on to Monticello. Old places, many of them historic, provide a spiritual 
notation to mind and heart, mind first in your case, orndorff.

Presently, you are at Washington’s birthplace along the Potomac River. The split rail fences are interesting and you are including a photo here.

Split rail has a connotation of practical fencing from your perspective, common sense fencing, if you will. You have the trees, you create a fence. If you have stones it becomes a wall. It is meant to keep livestock in or out depending. And, if the design is again artistic as in Monticello, all the better.

You are of mind to express a thought or two here, in context, but really don’t know what it is to express it. Here is what you would say if you could think of the words, which you can’t.

"The United States is too full of fences, wood, stone, brick and other common material such as steel and plastic. Words are fencing too, and they are too high or too low for a reasonable common denominator. I don’t know what can be done about it, but if we were to have polite guests from another world we are not putting on our best behavior as human beings."

Orndorff is wondering why he wrote this, but it is in his mind to do so because, he is thinking in context with his books, not with real life. He forgets, deep, deep down which is which.
