Notes for Scene 10, Ch.5

        You woke up during the night and wrote, “If wishes were horses then beggars would ride”, an old saying your Grandmother Schick used to say from time to time. Earlier in the day you wanted to mention the saying to Kim but it came out wrong, “If horses were wishes then beggars would ride”, which you immediately told her was an error. Then, an interruption and on to something else.

         It is going on lunch time and it has been busy with Owen. I forget where we are in terms of the story. I imagine it will come back to me, but for now I’m rather worthless.

         Later, orndorff. – Amorella.

         You five had supper at the Colony on Lee. It has been a busy day with one thing or another. Life as it is. You are still not mentally ready to work on the scene. Perhaps a little later. Go over the material you researched the last couple of days for now. – Amorella.

         Moving on time for bed. The only thing that has come to your mind after rereading the research, mostly from Wikipedia, is ‘whirling dervish’, and it just popped into your head while the MacBook was warming up. Check it out.

         I first looked up ‘Whirling Dervish” and found ‘whirling’ in the free dictionary online and it means: “a dervish whose actions include ecstatic dancing and whirling”. I looked up dervish and found it meant:

“The mendicant orders are religious orders which depend directly on the charity of the people for their livelihood. In principle, they do not own property, either individually or collectively . . ., believing that this was the most pure way of life to copy followed by Jesus Christ, in order that all their time and energy could be expended on religious work.

. . . ‘Mendicant’ may also be used to refer to other non-Catholic and non-Christian ascetics, such as Buddhist monks and Hindu holy men. The Theravada Buddhist Pali scriptures use the term bhikkhu for mendicant, and in Mahayana scriptures, the equivalent sanskrit term bikshu is used. In Sufism, Dervishes.” [From: Wikipedia: Mendicant Orders]

         From the above you gain a sense of the dance, and its use upon the waters, slightly above the waters actually, as these are dead heartsoulminds.

         For the dance itself let’s use the OSU video Kim put on her Facebook page as the loosely visual sense of describing the dance.

         Is this legal?

         I said ‘loosely’ for visual translation. You have seen dances like this before in films and on television. Place it here if you would:

Flash Mob at the Ohio Union 5/3/2010 - The Ohio State University

Students and staff break out into a dance in the great hall of the new Ohio Union on Monday, May 3, 2010 around 12:35 PM.

         I have seen the circle folk dances before and as for the other dancers a chorus line of musical video sorts will do so it doesn’t seem unethical in my use. I will know better after it is written and described of course.

         And, as always, and as you have done on several occasions, you have asked to change something in the script because it made you uneasy. This is no different. You, as always, have the final call. – Amorella.

         Well, today wasn’t much on manuscript but it is a step forward, a step in the right direction.

         That is always the idea, orndorff. These books show your moral sense of right and wrong, otherwise they would not be authentic.

         It is personal opinion though, Amorella. It is not a ‘truth’ in any sense of the word.

         The books are a fictional reflection of your human subjective and objective reality no one else’s. What else could be more true? – Amorella.

         This is where the “intentionality” from yesterday comes in?

         Yes, it does. Post. All for tonight, orndorff. – Amorella.
