Shortly after noon local time. You had an arthritic
morning but finished it with almost an hour of exercise after a hot bath and a
pain pill an hour before that. You have been thinking ahead on the two chapters
but as you have little idea there is no need to waste your energy. Time for Dead
20 so let those characters in Pouch get some sleep; they had a very long day
when you think on it. - Amorella
1217 hours. I can't even remember what happened at the conclusion of
Dead 19. I cannot think in four stories at once.
But you have an understanding of how it
would be to be twenty feet into the four cardinal directions at once. -
Amorella
I do. I had to acclimate myself to that task while in a Chinese dragon
story on the top of a mountain. Actually it was a four dimensional box or a
pyramid and an inverted pyramid in ship so it was the four cardinal directions
and a centered up and down, again let's say at twenty feet. Mentally I can
stretch that far at once. Or, let's say, I felt that I did do that in the
story. I had to check, it was Grandma's Story 14, but I think it was in the
original story for Braided Dreams that I 'felt/understood' how it was to be
stretched in six directions the most. I realize these were imaginary not 'real'
experiences.

Grandma 14
Shushu
is a pleasant woman who has her own way or else. Her summer love is Ch’ang. Her
great aunt, Lili, shaman of both local tribes, is also on the summit. The stone
hut is Lili’s for the summer months, and she invited Shushu and Ch’ang. Neither
Shushu nor Ch’ang, are related except by love.

In here, when you are Dead, what is the
difference between imaginary and real? - Amorella
Wow. That is a really, really good question, Amorella.
Let's make that the focus of Dead Twenty. -
Amorella
1309 hours. We are about to go in to Blue Ash and pick up a couple of
Marx Bagels for lunch.
1542
hours. We have been working on the downstairs, reading for Linda and Jean on
Friday afternoon. Tomorrow I am to Westerville for lunch with Fritz, visit
family, and the evening gathering Uptown Westerville. Carol has lunch with Blue
Ash Retired Teachers (the large group); Ann F. is going to ride in with her. What's
amazing is that Laney Bender-Slack's kindergarten teacher still comes to their
monthly gathering. The Bender kids all grew up in Blue Ash. Laney, my dear
muse, is a bit older herself, as are we all. I still miss seeing her every day
as I almost always did when we were teaching together at William Mason High.
This morning I received a quick note from Angie Edmunds, who is teaching at
Wyoming High School, her old Alma Mater. I miss my old colleagues sometimes.
They are never far away, and other old friends mentioned along the way in these
blog postings.
You start thinking of your friends and it's
hard to know when to stop. They know who they are, and many indeed, are mentioned
from time to time in the blog. You want to always treat them equally, let that
happen in the heart, boy, not in your mind. People want to equate one with the
other as you attempt to do by writing them together 'heartansoulanmind' but it
doesn't work that way, even in a fiction such as this. This is one of the
problems with your words "Equal" and "Justice". There is no
end to discussion because they are unequal parts of the whole person. It is
comparing the insides of apples, oranges and grapes. Juicy insides, all fruits,
but their time in the sun and rain is different, different roots. - Amorella
1601 hours. But, Amorella, if the soul and heart and mind are a real
part of the definition of human and marsupial humanoid -- I forgot where I was
going with this.
Let's continue with using the soul as a
reference in Dead 20 and let's stick with it through chapter 21. - Amorella
I hope this is not going to complicate matters. This book is complicated
enough already. Like I said, I don't remember the conclusion of Dead 19.
Memory is not what is being stretched, boy,
it is self-awareness. - Amorella
Self-awareness sounds egotistical and selfish, I'm rather embarrassed
about it because although obviously the focus is on Merlyn I am the
ingredients. I would rather keep my mouth shut and listen. I feel more
comfortable listening.
Your sharing online makes it less selfish;
besides stretching is good for the soul no matter whose soul it is. - Amorella
1614 hours. It sounds like the person owns herorhis soul. That doesn't
seem right; that is not just.
Nor is it right or just for the soul to own
the heartanmind. - Amorella
Ownership is not in the mix.
No, it is not. - Amorella
The soul cannot own anything.
It
cannot. - Amorella
The
heart cannot own anything.
No, it cannot. - Amorella
What about the mind?
It
works both ways in this context. - Amorella
But
people use the term "my soul", "my heart" and "my
mind".
That's food for fodder, boy. - Amorella
1624 hours. You have such a
dark humor, Amorella.
It is but a reflection of your own, boy.
Post. - Amorella
I am a despicable rascal.
That leaves out sainthood. - Amorella
You make me laugh out loud, Amorella
Humor is your saving grace, boy. Use this as your title here. Post. - Amorella
2114
hours. We had cereal, veggies and fruit for supper while we watched
"Rizzoli and Isles" then "King and Maxwell" and NBC News.
You and Doug traded notes today and I am
interested in his thoughts just as you are. You mostly because I have mentioned
several times that time is as droplets of water in the story. Here is Doug's
first note on an article about how the second can now be better calculated:
** **
Dick, Thanks for the info
on the new clock. Very interesting! Someday soon they may find that time is
indeed quantized and not continuous. What this implies I am not sure, but what
exists between quantized time units?
Doug
** **
And a second note
on quantized time:
** **
Dick, Thanks for the
[second] article. Remember at the quantum level time may not exist. There are
many example of a particle being at two places at the same time, a common
feature of sub atomic particles.
I would like to add that
if time is quantized there could be an infinite or random delay between time
pulses in which we exist. To exist in only quantized time pulses to me
basically makes me feel we have no understanding of how the universe is
constructed. Maybe this is where all the other dimensions live.
Doug

You responded with:

Doug
(and Nancy),
Very
interesting thoughts, Doug. I will have to internalize these things. I love
this. It is like the world is our classroom. We can study a lot right here as
we live and breathe. Speculation on plausibilities. Retirement is good.
;-)
Dick
PS
- We agree -- on the "no understanding" I come back to Plato's
Allegory on the Cave. Only maybe it isn't a cave wall maybe we should be
looking from the cave wall first, from the beginning or a beginning. Or, from
someplace else entirely where we can see the cave wall and the person viewing
the cave, or something else entirely.
This
sounds like a focus somewhere in the books for me -- plausibilities’s unthought
of. Maybe to begin with the soul first, the circumstances that would cause the
soul to exist (I am thinking fiction here of course. The 'evolution' of the
soul sort of thing. What would be the happenstance for this to happen?
I
think our minds share a similar path, always have.

2134
hours. I see I made a spelling error; a plague from being a teacher of English.
I didn't know you were going to request this on the blog.
You brought it on yourself by suggesting,
"Maybe [quantized time could relate to] the soul." You were thinking
that the fictional marsupial humanoids could suggest their theories on
quantized time and the soul to the earthlings. And, now upon seeing this on the
screen you wonder if you are attempting to make this story your story and not
mine, and that that is not a good idea. Do I have this correctly written, boy?
- Amorella
You
have the general truth. I get excited about these thing and say, 'Oh, wow! This
is so cool to think on, to speculate on.' When Doug and I used to get together
we would talk and speculate in our pre-teens and teens. Some of it was on this
sort of stuff and on articles I remember from Fate Magazine. Let me see if I
can find an example. One article from the May 1960 issue is titled: "You Can Use Your
Subconscious" -- well, I did/do that. I
was more into these than Doug but we still had the discussions. I still get
excited when he suggests things to think about. It is in our nature.
Curiosity and wonder on reality are in your
passions, boy. Certainly with the Blake character along don't you think quantized time would
come up eventually? He is somewhat like Doug and you in that he has the curiosity
and wonder too. I temper these things in story form because frankly you need
the help. Post. - Amorella
