Morning. In her note Laney says, “Must have been fate. I have never been there [Piada
Street Italian] before . . ..” You
wonder on the meaning of fate in this particular context. Let’s go at this in
your usual way, first a dictionary definition to avoid personal confusion:
** **
fate -
noun
1 what
has fate in store for me? destiny,
providence, the stars, chance, luck,
serendipity, fortune, kismet, karma.
2 my
fate was in their hands: future,
destiny, outcome, end, lot.
3 a
similar fate would befall other killers: death,
demise, end; retribution, sentence.

Mythology (the
Fates) the Fates will decide:
the weird sisters; the Parcae, the Moirai, the Norns; ‘Clotho, Lachesis, and
Atropos’.

1040 hours. From the above I would say
“serendipity” first, a happy coincidence because that is the way it felt when I
first saw her. Second, “karma”.
** **
karma –
noun
(in
Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person's actions in this and previous
states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.
• informal
destiny or fate, following as effect from cause.
ORIGIN
from Sanskrit karman ‘action, effect,
fate.’

This better describes what goes on in your
heartansoulanmind when Laney physically appears in your private life. This
should rid any confusion you might have; these two meanings [serendipity and
karma] are the nuggets, as it were. What do you think on this, boy? – Amorella
1051 hours. This does eliminate the
confusion, no doubt about it. Amazing. Too much runs through my mind; I become
awash with too many words, none which appear adequate in context.
You are missing the point when it comes to
Laney. Your mind is only a third of it and not really a strong third to begin
with. Your heart is the strong suite of course, but the soul comes into play
more strongly than you might think. I can sense this in your underlying
irritation with the word “karma” because you think it makes you appear weak
minded and fateful in a good sort of way. As the song goes, “You are in love
with the girl,” and it appears to you to be predestined from your first meeting
back when she was Kim’s teacher of English in junior high. You remember the
meeting. Highly unusual for you. But it wasn’t until Laney transferred to the
high school that you made note. And you made note again when she gave you The
Complete Works of Shakespeare for Christmas. You cannot remember any other
teacher giving you such a magnificent present, or any such present for that
matter, in your entire career. – Amorella
1104. Laney liked and accepted me for
who I was; nothing more, nothing less. Her gift was an existential act. That’s
how I took it. This was utterly difficult for me to accept internally, oddly
enough. I remember when I did accept this to myself I had a poetic flash “our
souls dance”. I never told anyone. Our relationship from my point of view, grew from that point.
You see how your word choices are validated
through heart and soul and mind. The picture is now clear. Post. – Amorella
1110 hours. This is who I am,
Amorella. This takes work but I like to know who I am.
Mid-afternoon.
You had left over Papa John’s pizza for lunch – Homer and crew’s best pizza as
far as you and Carol are concerned. You watched the two-hour conclusion to “The
Mentalist” – a good one to end on! Taking a break you dug a path to and around
the bird feeder, filled and scattered seeds for the feathery creatures. It has
been snowing. You measured in the yard by the feeder a couple of places, seven
and a half inches in one undisturbed spot and eight inches of snow in the other
a few feet away. Jared used the snow blower about noon when at least six inches
of new flakes. It is supposed to stop around dusk. You got a note from Doug in
Tennessee and they have seven inches presently. Carol is on the phone with
Linda in Tampa. Enjoy the rest of the day, boy. - Amorella
1506 hours. How do souls dance,
Amorella? Poetically speaking I imagine a great scene far away taken by the
Hubble and reduce those stars and nebula to something so small they cannot be
seen. I have no other imagination for it.
Tonight
you had eggs and ham for supper as you watched NBC News after which you watched
the latest episode of “Blue Bloods”. The snow has stopped and tomorrow, late
morning or early afternoon, you will drive to Kim and Paul’s for Brennan’s
birthday party tomorrow evening and stay over. You have been working on draft
one of the new Pouch Eight. Here is what you have:

Pouch 8 Draft 1
Captain
Friendly is sitting at a smaller table with Ship communication embedded within.
Her father, Director Kembel is comfortably sitting next to her with a slight
smile.
“I
know that look Daddy. Here we are again. Sitting and being one another
together.” She paused. “I love you.”
“And,
I love you.”
Ship
politely asks the first question, “Yermey has explained the situation. It is
his opinion that we follow Mother Drenakite’s suggestion that we enter
planetary space with blackenot on and permanently hover above StoneHouse Sacred
Dig. Onesixanzero and I concur that for the time being, no one outside of those
on site will know Earthlings will be on the surface.”
“The
archeologists are all under the supervision of Mother Drenakite,” states
Kembel. People are respectful of the authority, feeling StoneHouse is
traditionally sacred territory first,” comments Friendly. “I have told the
Earthlings that this site is akin to finding the bones of Abraham and Sarah
buried in the region where God’s Messenger gave his Promise to Abraham. They are
more interested in the than I thought they would be and are grateful they do
not have to go through public scrutiny, at least at this time.”
“The
area is already a designated sacred natural park and has been kept wild. This
project will keep people focused and allow Earthlings to observe us as we are,”
echoes Ship.
“What
is it exactly, that we are using the Earthlings for?”
Ship
replies, “Mother Drenakite and Onesixanzero believe there is a theoretical
relationship, a quantum-like spiritual connection between both species.
Philosophy suggests that the Earthlings and us have equal heartsansoulsanminds
at the spiritual level, and as such, the spiritual living in the Beyond might
have contact with each other. This was theory long before Earthlings were known
to exist – that other spiritual creatures similar to us would show this would
be possible. Our earlier trips to Earth and recent knowledge gained of their
present cultures show their religions and our own have respectful similarities.
We accept many spiritual concepts in our traditional religious practices.
Several of our past religious figures developed philosophies similar until
Elderfelder the Dancer appeared and made us think deeper into ourselves, into
the separate and the togetherness of the heart and soul and mind in the individual
as well as in the bonding of the greater group. We could not have known this until
Elderfelder the Dancer was witnessed by our machinery as well as our humanity. 409 words

This is the setting. We will work on the
second half when time and distance permit. Post. – Amorella

writing tonight. This is a surprise.
