Amorella back to Pompeii as this is now one of orndorff’s favorite haunts. Main Street or one of them. Perhaps we can make a place similar as headquarters for our five characters who are put in charge while having their own personal problems to deal with. Now that you have wandered about the place and can gather more pictures for reference from classical history sources as well as Flicker you can build up an album as it were of description that while seven centuries late will still serve our purposes here.
A Greek town will serve as a city-state in the place of heroes, Elysium I assume.
Yes. We don’t have to count out ten thousand heartansouls. The drama and comedy will focus on a single street block. The one you walked the most will do, that is, from the theatre to the top of the hill where the picture was taken. Set up a folder and mark it Pompeii.4. Book five has another, less humbling setting.
I am sure thousands upon thousands of other people have taken this same scene at Pompeii. I am inflicted with a near empty sadness seeing Vesuvius, its caldera covered with clouds in the distance while we are standing in the ruins. Scientists say the gas from the explosion killed everyone very quickly, before the lava flow and ash.
In checking Wikipedia I just found this tidbit on Pompeii:
“The town was founded around the 7th-6th century BC by the Osci or Oscans, a people of central Italy, on what was an important crossroad between Cumae, Nola and Stabiae. It had already been used as a safe port by Greek and Phoenician sailors. According to Strabo, Pompeii was also captured by the Etruscans, and in fact recent excavations have shown the presence of Etruscan inscriptions and a 6th century BC necropolis. Pompeii was captured for the first time by the Greek colony of Cumae, allied with Syracuse, between 525 and 474 BC.”
From: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompeii
The town will fit closer to the time period of the Rebellion than I had suspected – a pleasant surprise.
You are thinking ‘rebellious’ thoughts yourself, wondering if I am writing this post for the right reasons.
It has occurred to me. These posts are becoming more focused on the upcoming book (which I have yet to begin) and I thought this blog was about you discussing what spiritual values really are (at least from the inner me to my consciousness). I thought the reflections might be worth sharing but lately this is like a kind of preview of the book to be which is fine in itself, it is just like with the other three books, but I don’t see a reason to share it, that is to lay it out on the table when it really doesn’t mean anything yet (to me).
What it comes down to is this, I don’t want to waste people’s time with what amount to a show of ‘inner self-centeredness’ – literally so. (As usually, I have no idea how you are going to respond to this, if you are going to respond at all.) >
As there is no response, I am assuming I did not ask the question properly, that I have not thought it out, or that my question is (ironically) not being written (by me) for the right reasons.
You got it, boy. The head on the nail. I am not finishing this post until you get the question right. – Amorella.
How do I know this blog is being written for the right reasons and not for ‘good intentions’? I don’t want to write for good intentions, but I don’t know the difference, in the case of writing this blog and books. I want to write both for the right reasons not for good intentions. It is hard understanding and knowing my own moral dilemma, Amorella. I feel very limited in knowing what is the right thing to do, in terms of these writings.
This is better. Particularly your last sentence. The concern is that I am pushing the books through the blog. You are considered the writer, orndorff, not me. We have had this discussion once before. You have to accept me as part of yourself for legal reasons as well as mental ones. Yet, deep inside you see me as something more, a presence, as it were, real enough to write three books under your name. Your concern is that I am not paving your road with good intentions, so to speak.
Yes. You write this so much better than I do. Much easier writing, strangely you are more down to earth in tone than I am. Amazing.
