Mid-morning. You and Carol were up early,
had breakfast and read the Sunday paper. You called Kim and wished her a happy
birthday. Owen and Brennan are both enjoying their Fall schedules, though
Brennan told Kim (the first day) he missed riding into school without Owen. You
are tired and ready for a nap before exercises. Later, dude. – Amorella

You forgot you had a short piece yesterday
thus you didn’t upload. Include today as a heart matter. – Amorella
0830
hours. Carol has her physical therapy within the hour. Later this morning we
pick up the Toyota (happy day). I am curious to see how it looks newly painted.
I need a short nap to move on with the day. It is cooler but that triggers the
arthritis particularly in the lower back and hip joints. This is not a
complaint; just a fact of life. I have nothing to complain about. I need a hot soaking
bath before the nap – better than taking pain pills.
You picked up the car and it appears brand
new on the outside. The damage repair, paint and painting restoration came to
seven thousand, five hundred and some dollars. Quite a bit more than you were
expecting. State Farm took care of all but the two hundred and fifty dollar
deductable, which you paid Joseph Collision Restoration Center.
Lunch
at Penn Station and now you are at the far north lot of Pine Hill Lakes Park,
facing west and sitting in the shade of the trees on the hill. Carol is asleep.
Let’s go to Dead Ten. – Amorella
1437
hours. I finished a short paragraph but don’t know where to go from here. I
have forgotten what we are doing. Carol is on page 10 of Kathy Reichs’ novel, Bones
to Ashes. – I had to return to the 16 August post to gather selections of
notes that deal with Dead 10. I have 15 pages of notes as to where I am and a
bit about where Dead 10 may be heading. I will have to refresh.
One of the points is that Merlyn is about to
have an exchange of souls. – Amorella
1457
hours. Why is that? People don’t have an exchange of soul of soul for another
every day.
How do you know this, boy? – Amorella
1500
hours. I wouldn’t be practical.
What if each heartanmind is but a
schoolhouse for the soul?
1501
hours. That would make everyone useful-in-purpose. That’s an interesting
thought, Amorella.
Carol is ready to leave. Later, boy. –
Amorella
You
were running errands and looking for two-pound ankle weights for Carol but had
no luck and several stores. - Amorella
1759
hours. We wasted a couple of hours with people at one store assuring us that
another store would have the weights. All we found were three and five-pound Velcro
held weights. The physical therapist said two pounds. We are home and we are
both tired.
Post. - Amorella
Post, boy. Get a good night’s sleep. -
Amorella
You
had leftovers for supper (stuffed green peppers) and watched NBC News, PBS’s “Doc
Martin” (one of Fritz’s favorites) then Carol went to bed. You watched Sunday
night’s “The Last Ship” and “Falling Skies”. You have some errands already up
for tomorrow. – Amorella
2218
hours. In an earlier post you said: “This open soul is far older than the one Merlyn has; as old
as Adam, one might say. – Amorella “ I responded by going off into Moby
Dick. How can a soul be of any age as it is deemed immortal?
You see what you are doing – referencing the
open soul to humankind criteria. The soul does not revolve, so to speak, around
humankind, if anything it would be the other way around, but it isn’t even
that, not in these fictions, boy. – Amorella
2226
hours. It is not about age, it is about a soul’s experiences in life. Is this
assumption on a better track?
An soul can become wiser by being open. –
Amorella
2229
hours. Doug and Nancy sent me a good quote about wisdom today or yesterday. It
was today’s quotation:
" No man was ever wise by chance. "
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
It
is such a wonderful quotation. One of the best they have ever sent me. I love
good quotations. I remember loving them from the time I read my mother’s Bartlett’s
Quotations. It was a pre-World War II edition. I read it in the summer
between seventh and eighth grade if I remember rightly. I still have the copy
in the basement.
How else would a soul acquire wisdom without
‘reading’ a heartanmind, at least in these books? – Amorella
2240
hours. At least it gives our species a greater purpose, that is, one beyond
ourselves.
You see, your spirit does have hope, boy,
whether you are fully aware of it or not. – Amorella
2241
hours. I have my doubts – more so because you bring this up. Throw the boy a
bone and he’ll pick it up – this kind of doubt. Sartre always said
self-deception is the worst kind (or something to that effect).
These books are fiction and
authentically written; how can you be more self-deceptive than that, young man?
– Amorella
2248
hours. You throw in ironic humor – that which I love best. You are a marvel,
Amorella. You are so kind and angelic-like to my deepest heart.
