Nightfall within the hour. Earlier today Doug wrote and said
that he too did his first paper on the RAF and the Battle of Britain and also
enjoyed the footnoting, as you also did. To you this is a further sign of
heartanmind connection with him, you wrote and told him that you hope these
intangibles are elements one can take with one upon physical death. - Amorella
You just expressed it better, Amorella. Intangibles is the very word I was looking for but couldn't come up
with at the time.
Look it up. - Amorella

intangible [(s) the
noun]
adjective
1 the
shadows were more intangible than usual as they shifted with each quavering
bough and passing cloud: impalpable,
untouchable, incorporeal, discarnate, abstract;
ethereal, insubstantial, immaterial, airy; ghostly, spectral, unearthly,
supernatural.

indefinable, indescribable,
inexpressible, nameless; vague, obscure, abstract, unclear, indefinite,
undefined, subtle, elusive.

Placing
those adjectives into nouns is elusive at best because of context needed for
further reference. From my perspective in this blog's context the 'intangibles'
are a reality akin to a Platonic imagery of a heart or mind being within a Form
of Shared Passion.
2042 hours. Busy day. Two hours at the pool, water heated to
78 degrees. Wonderful for Ohioans; Floridians no doubt think we are out of our
minds for hitting the water in December.
You
had lunch up Sand Key a few miles, the Friendly Tavern, a local place on Gulf Boulevard.
Good lunch - chicken quesadillas like you would make them yourself. Afterwards
a drive up through Clearwater Beach and return for a nap then Kim, Paul and the
boys headed out to the pool for another hour. Supper of leftovers in boxes from
several lunches out. The boys are in bed, and you are thinking about it
yourself. You are unnecessarily troubled by Michigan's 'Right to Work' vote
believing without unions labor is going to be more easily exploited by
business.
Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" sits deep.

"This
Land Is Your Land"-
Words and Music by Woody Guthrie
This land is your land.
This land is my land
From California to the
New York island;
From the red wood forest
to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for
you and Me.
As I was walking that
ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that
endless skyway:
I saw below me that
golden valley:
This land was made for
you and me.
I've roamed and rambled
and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands
of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a
voice was sounding:
This land was made for
you and me.
When the sun came
shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields
waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a
voice was chanting:
This land was made for
you and me.
As I went walking I saw
a sign there
And on the sign it said
"No Trespassing."
But on the other side it
didn't say nothing,
That side was made for
you and me.
In the shadow of the
steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I
seen my people;
As they stood there
hungry, I stood there asking
Is
this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever
stop me,
As I go walking that
freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever
make me turn back
This land was made for
you and me.

You are angry and arrogant. You are entitled
to your opinion just as everyone else is. Post. - Amorella
