Notes - unconsidered / a conceptual base / spirit&body


         You had a nap after breakfast and the paper, then you worked in the yard for an hour or so doing typical Fall chores, moving dirt to low spots, fixing the bottom of gutter pipes, moving rocks, putting hoses away and the like. You washed up and changed clothes and are ready for lunch at Panera/Chipotle (Carol's favorite soup is served on Mondays and Wednesdays). Then a stop at Kroger's because last night they had run out of the amount of meat needed for vegetable soup.

         I still have more yard work but it is looking better and I'll have to mow again on Friday so it will look okay until we return. Bagging the grass certainly helps the looks this time of year. Chores, I tend to dislike unto I'm involved then it is rather satisfying. You do something and can immediately see that it is done. It is not that way with any art I believe. Creativity has a sense of unfinished no matter how finished it appears.

         Blasphemy, you think, to parallel such a thought with G---D and Creation but you did anyway. - Amorella

         It just rolled out of the bottomlands somewhere. I knew I shouldn't have thought it, but I did. I am not going to apologize because it wasn't my conscious doing.

         You see how it is with the Dead; there is no unconsciousness to take the blame for such things. - Amorella

         That I had not considered.

         Post, then enjoy lunch. - Amorella


        You are sitting at Kroger's on Tylersville. The first thing you want to do is to change the Richards to Roland. I would like it kept Richard out of respect to Robert. - Amorella

         I would feel better doing this also, but . . . I see your point. Richard it stays, twin-minded as always. You are right. I would be more uncomfortable changing it for that very reason. That was the purpose. Patti and Carol are first born and each has three sisters, this is the twinning connection on the other side.

         This is one of those small moral complications. You changed the wives to near-enough-a-likes rather than twins because of your reintroduction to Kay and Ann at your high school reunion. The complication is that Ann's husband is named Richard, that you did not know when you began the books. That change is reasonable, again, individual moral preference. - Amorella

         1549 hours. We stopped at the house and did more work for another hour and have an hour to do after our 'reading time'. Presently we are at the far north end lot of Pine Hill Lakes Park, a very pleasant but chilly day. Warm enough for me to get the new deck boards stained that needed it. Next Spring we'll get someone to refurbish a few deck boards and the whole deck stained; it will be twenty years old next summer.

         This morning when you went out the door to get the paper for you and your neighbor you heard a shrill bird's cry right above and as you glanced up you saw the half moon overhead and immediately thought of the owl, the fox, the coyote, black snake, raccoons, possum, deer, groundhogs and that lone eagle that have wandered your property over the years. The owl was first in mind, the Merlyn and his 'being a shaman', then the fox like the large horned owl visited several times. You heard the cry again and saw the large red tailed hawk, looking for mouse or squirrel for breakfast. He screeched at you again, for interrupting, then flew off.

         Yes, an immediate smile; both outwardly and inwardly, an existential moment, a reality with a transcendental twist without the hint of imagination needed.

         That's what I was looking for here, boy. No imagination needed. You need to realize that. Not everything in your notes and books is imagination.

         It is not facts either; plausibility is what is important. Mostly it is driven by imagination.

         You are driven by agnostic passion first and foremost. The seeming contradiction wires you up, boy and turns on the electric, so to speak, just as your muse does. Think of this in terms of magnetic energy in its broadest sense of physics. In these books there is a connection that is both physical and metaphysical. - Amorella

         So, this is what the 'bridge' consists of between the deadanliving and living.

         It is the 'line' on which each meet. Two parallel tracks with a multitude of physical and metaphysical 'engines' running "on" them. - Amorella

         This gives me a conceptual 'base'. Something similarly analogous is suggested in the first trilogy with science and philosophy, parallel tracks. I don't outwardly often think on these things.

         1725 hours. We are finished with the yard, at least for today, lots of little things taken care of, plus the yard looks better, and the garage is cleaned up. Tomorrow I have to check over the car and make sure it is ready for the five-hour trip to the mountains of Tennessee just south of Pigeon Forge on Sunday. Getting pumped.

         Supper and the news coming up, orndorff. Post. - Amorella


         2124 hours. I have attempted to research magnetism online. I know nothing much here and would just as soon not go there. I did learn that if you break a bar magnet in half each half will have north and south magnetic poles. So, in the books, are physics and metaphysics as two bar magnets that were once one? (This is all I have, Amorella.)

         No, it is not. You asked a second question and deleted it. - Amorella

         If so, what caused the bar magnet to break in half?

         That is the question Merlyn asks. "Why are not metaphysics and physics one?"

         They are one, Amorella, in spirit and body, in the living but not in the deadanliving.

         Think about this and tomorrow we'll begin with Merlyn sitting on that favorite rock that isn't there. Post. - Amorella
