Pictography at Ft. Huachuca

Amorella here, staring down at ancient symbols etched by people presently known as Native Americans. The pictures  had meaning that are lost on orndorff and probably also on most of his readers. According to Wikipedia once Apache Territory in Arizona, Fort Huachuca’s . . . “major tenants are the Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM)/9^th Army Signal Command and the United States Army Intelligence Center.” Military communications are no different than any other. Over time symbols are lost or they become misunderstood or even to a much lesser extent, mispronounced.

Being mispronounced does not necessarily mean misunderstood but the flavor of dialect is lost. When dialect is lost a part of a particular individual’s personal identity is lost. The ‘mother’ tongue is literal as well as figurative. Language suggests intimacy on several levels. Intimacy suggests secrecy. Secrecy suggests mystery. A memory of a vivid dream can be a mystery even for the dreamer.

I cannot think of any vivid dream I have ever had at the moment let alone a mysterious dream. You’ve explained several of my dreams yourself. And, whether the explanations have been true or not I do not know but I have been satisfied with the explanations which is probably one of the reasons I do not remember them.

Secret communications may have a spiritual quality to them in that they are intimate communications. Religions are full of such communications, as are governments as well as secret societies such as those found in medicine, law, education, masons and hundreds of sports and hobbies. These symbols are connected to the heart of an individual just as mother’s language and dialect is. These things however ring no bells. Nothing comes to mind.

What of the symbol of the surrounding silence in the quietest of private places within your mind?

A completely unexpected question. While a code or vow of silence may have spiritual underpinnings I do not see this sort of thing in myself or my friends.

Deep down, why would you rather write your mind than speak it?

This is a good question, Amorella. I do not know. I can only think of rationalizing or petty excuses as to why I would rather write than speak.
