Notes - others who are honest

         Evening. You had a relatively busy day working around the house. You did get your forty minutes of exercises in and had a late lunch at Panera/Chipotle, then you spent at least an hour updating your Emergency ID Card and Meds but once you got it updated and printed it properly and set it up on an outdated casino card and decently taped in with clear tape you found an error, and once you went back over the updating on the card you found other errors so you corrected them all but tomorrow you have to print it and attach it to another outdated card to put in your carrying collection of a variety of cards and folded money on the outside held together with a rubber band or two – your privately styled wallet since 1970; about a quarter inch thick without some folded ones on one side and a few folded fives and tens on the other. You both had leftovers about eight and watched the news and last night’s new “Blue Bloods”. Last night you did read more of A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. – Amorella

         2214 hours. Chapter 17 was about the upper troposphere and Chapter 18 was about the critters and pressures of the oceans. I am still enjoying the book because it is full of facts – some I have read before but others I have not, so with the combination I have a better insight than by not reading; but there is no way I can remember all this, nor should it. A better understanding of science is all I’m looking for. The book is still entertaining with minor ironies scattered about like so many molecules or seashells. So, if I read tonight I begin on page 287. I’m really glad Kim gave this to me for a present.

         Changes for the week – you are going up to Kim and Paul’s Thursday morning and you will be staying until Saturday afternoon to help Kim with the boys at their swimming lessons at the Delaware YMCA. Paul has a required meeting at the hospital most of Saturday morning. And, you did call to tell him you signed back on Ancestry for six months of resources looking at the world of Ancestry facts not just the U.S. – Amorella

         2229 hours. They had thirty percent off for six months so I took it knowing our DNA will be back within a month or two. Plus, I thought it would help locate some of Paul’s many relatives in Korea but so far I don’t think it will unless he can get me some names and towns and dates. It will give me a chance to check more about my European ancestors though. I’ll have enough time to pick up what details I can. And, what we are hoping is that with Paul’s family that some of the many aunts and uncles on both his mother and father’s sides of the family that someone already has a genealogy worked up. If not then it is time we get to it while these people are still alive and hopefully willing to share what they know about their ancestors.

         Post. – Amorella

         Your thoughts are still hanging on ‘souls as the children of Angels’ are they not? – Amorella

         2237 hours. I guess I am curious about my own soul since you appear to have some acquaintance with it. This has nothing to do with the Merlyn books but one time . . ..

         You hesitate because, as you have written elsewhere in the blog, that you felt that once during the 1980’s (when you thought you witnessed a small spirit in the hall of your old house, and Carol and Kim were in the first level watching television and you felt as if your soul ‘flew’ up and out and another took its place) that you have wondered if this was possible at least from your perspective. – Amorella

         2243 hours. It all seems rather silly now though it did not at the time. Frankly, I don’t think I really want to know because I have such an imagination to begin with. I don’t even know why it popped in my head with the “but one time . . .“ Then I just wanted to let it go but you began the next paragraph – I would just as soon that had not.

         I keep you honest boy, so that you may eventually get your wish and die an honest man, at least honest to yourself. This is a private goal of yours and had been for over six decades. It is online to keep you honest, but it makes no difference whether anybody else believes you or not because you have always been a storyteller. Some tales are a little taller than others but that is a human fault and not much can be done about it, or should from my perspective. – Amorella

         You know your soul’s presence, boy. How would you know one soul for another? In here they don’t wear an ID bracelet. One can tell one shadow from another by its clarity of shape. The human spirit is felt usually when one cannot come up with words at the same time a tear rises to the surface of the eye. How is it human beings can feel something that is not there? It is not imagination, it is not just emotion either, reason wavers when the words don’t come out, but it does not go away, because the person resolves the experience in silence. This is how you see it. How it is?  Others who are honest know how this is. Post. - Amorella
