You remember the Dead most everyday, boy, no
tributes need go here. Dusk, and you are waiting for Carol at Kroger's
Tylersville. You both had a busy day, plus the last half of it was working in
the yard once again as trash out tomorrow and leaf pickup on Tuesday. You are
watching a huge flock of birds, a cloud of dark birds flying over. Omens, you
think because superstition follows you like a shadow. - Amorella
I
decided to look the word up. I don't know that I ever have. Here's what the
Oxford-American software has to say:
** **
superstition noun
excessively
credulous belief in and reverence for supernatural beings: he dismissed the
ghost stories as mere superstition
.
a widely
held but unjustified belief in supernatural causation leading to certain
consequences of an action or event, or a practice based on such a belief:
she touched her locket for luck, a superstition she had had since childhood.
ORIGIN Middle
English: from Old French, or from Latin
superstitio(n-), from super-
‘over’ + stare
‘to stand’ (perhaps from the notion of
“standing over” something in awe).
** **
The
definition is not so bad. Personally, in context, I like the origin point:
"standing over something in awe", however, the 'standing over' does
not sound too presentable.
You are having your usual troubles with
definition as humility is more than a token presentation when you 'sense'
something and are awe struck through the 'sense'. - Amorella
I
can never express myself so clearly yet you pretty much hit the thought on it's
head.
Thoughts
are not nails, boy; do you see the implications? - Amorella
I
feel I do but I do not have the adequate polite words to express them.
You are as Ahab sighting the great white
whale. - Amorella
A
bit dramatic, Amorella, but a hint of that simile is correct. I have all this
commotion (in my head) over a definition. Unbelievable.
Much later. You are thinking of going to bed
although it is not yet 2100 hours. - Amorella
We
were busy working in the yard. The leaves still aren't off a couple of trees
and they are picking them up Tuesday. Tomorrow it is supposed to rain. I'm
tired.
You and Carol were watching the second
episode of 666 - The Drake Hotel story and you stopped it after becoming bored
after the birds in the wall flew out and seeing Carol asleep. She even fell
asleep as you watched an early new episode of "Revenge" so you turned
it off. - Amorella
I
did. Neither of us liked the twilight zone style show about the haunted hotel
and revenge is becoming boring too. It reminds me of the second or third year
of "Desperate Housewives" -- too gimmicky and too predictable at the
same time. The plot revolves around like it is in a washing machine.
I
remember the old story of Einstein in 'junior high school' and wondering was it
was like to ride on the front of a light beam and yet here I am trying to
imagine how it would be being moved along like a mail container in a vacuum
tube. That doesn't do this justice. Ship is still (surrounded by a photon
bubble) while 'faster than light' carries it along. Where is the 'jadegos'
faster than light stuff coming from and where is it going?'
JDGspace is empty to full and full to empty.
It is a pulsed faster than light from the beat of a different drummer. Rhythm.
Nothing is between its regular pulse. - Amorella
I
am thinking . . . like the heartbeat of fasterthanlight.
No. It is light shaken not stirred. -
Amorella
What
is doing the shaking?
Dimensionally, nothing. - Amorella
A
couple of lines from Keats immediately pop into mind:
"Beauty
is truth, truth beauty -- that is all
Ye
know on earth, and all ye need to know."
