Mid-morning. Today is for grass mowing among
other things. – Amorella
0932
hours. That’s right, Amorella. I have the sweeper ready to take upstairs for
sweeping of course and I am sure there will be other chores needing to be done.
It looks like it is going to be a good day for it.
1653
hours. It has been a working outdoors day until now. Just a small bit of
trimming to do after the battery recharges. We had lunch at Smashburgers. Carol
did her laps this morning. I have been working on the yard in one capacity or
another for about three hours today. I lowered the blade and used the grass
catcher for most of the yard then dumped the gatherings in the back as mulch
for our stand of trees. The yard looks better for the weekend though it is
supposed to rain tomorrow but be pleasant on Sunday.
You had scrambled eggs, cheese and mixed
veggies for supper then watched “Elementary” and “Bones” before stopping for
the night. Carol headed upstairs to read and you are thinking about going to
bed soon. – Amorella
2112
hours. I am tired but I enjoyed working in the yard on various Spring chores.
I’m glad Tim mowed last week though. It is just nice to realize that if I don’t
want to mow, we will pay Tim to mow. Carol did mow a small patch on the north
side of the house – it is a complete flat section of the yard. I had already
mowed the postage stamp back. And, I did the rest of the trimming before
supper, plus restrung the battery powered trimmer for next time. I didn’t
notice any change on increasing my Victoza dosage one/third under doctor’s
orders and I picked up my next six pens worth from Kroger’s. (2121)
You are wondering why the Merlyn stories
focus on the various personal and social qualities of ‘afterlife’ for the
humans and marsupial humanoids. – Amorella
2124
hours. I had the thought but I assume this information is useful to Merlyn’s
story dreams. It adds interest to me because such information stretches my
understanding of where Merlyn is and how he ‘survives’ the fictional afterlife.
So far, much of this information has an evolutionary air to it. People are born
and learn to survive the physical world then after they die (reborn) they learn
to survive in the spiritual world. In the story there are connections between
the living and the dead – with the dead influencing the living as well as the
living influencing the dead, obviously by adding newly dead souls full of
heartanmind all the time. The souls gain the human passions of heartanmind.
Before, in the story, they are assumed to be inert or inactive Being without
passion. In the first trilogy there is mention of some of the dead moving on to
another stage or level of spirit. What comes to mind is the aging of wine –
that after a very long time the soul filled with the passion of human
heartanmind mellows or changes into something beyond the spirit perhaps. Where
do these souls move on to from ‘HeavenOrHellOrBothOrNeither’? Perhaps this is
not a good question because the book doesn’t go into where the soul was or how
it evolved in order to take in a human heartanmind.
The books suggest ‘a pre-spiritual condition
that allows the soul to become a holding place for heartanmind. The books also
infer that after a spiritual setting the heartansoulanmind are moved, as it
were, to a post-spiritual condition. There is a line or two you are thinking of
where this is put more simply in the play Our Town.
2156
hours. I found the lines easily enough; they are toward the conclusion of Act
I. George and his younger sister Rebecca are talking.
** **
Rebecca: I never told you about that
letter Jane Crofut got from her minister when she was sick. He wrote Jane a
letter and on the envelope the address was like this: It said: Jane Crofut; The
Crofut Farm; Grover’s Corners; Sutton County; New Hampshire; United States of
America.
George: What’s funny about that?
Rebecca: But listen, it’s not finished:
the United States of America; Continent of North America; Western Hemisphere,
the Earth; the Solar System; the Universe; the Mind of God – that’s what it
said on the envelope.
George: What do you know!
From
Thorton Wilder’s Our Town, Act One

2211
hours. The Mind of God is what some people think of when they think of where
existence, Here and Beyond, is. Now that I think more about it – this seems the
right thing to do here as far as the Merlyn stories are concerned – just leave
the construct the Mind of God.
This is not apropos for the Merlyn books
because the context is not the same. – Amorella
2217
hours. The context seems perfectly correct to me. I mean what else can we say?
– I really don’t want to gain any more understanding than what is suggested in
the books already.
These are Merlyn’s dreams not yours, boy. –
Amorella
2222
hours. I don’t care. I am the editor and I am uncomfortable in this discussion.
Yes, you are. You have good reasons. I
wanted you to draw them up consciously so you can better know who you are.
Post. – Amorella
2229
hours. Fiction is what it is.
You are sometimes not as much fiction as you
think you are. – Amorella
2230
hours. I don’t like to think about such things. I would just as soon be totally
fiction.
You almost were, boy. That is in life. You
shouldn’t have survived your first week, that’s what your family said. –
Amorella
