hours. It is four months before Christmas, amazing how fast the year goes by.
The
years can jar the mind, but seldom the heart. – Amorella
0846
hours. It is interesting the differences in the two; however, we would not be
human without their compliment.
The soul appears indifferent to time and
space but the heart and mind both recognise space though they define it
differently. – Amorella
0850
hours. In context I can see these are three different pieces of the puzzle, so
to speak. It is reasonable to see these non-material aspects definable. We make
them definable; we make them nouns.
What part of speech would you have them? –
Amorella
0853
hours. This is where we are constricted by our languages. If they were
something else they could not so easily be comprehended and accepted even
though they are non-material-whatsoevers. We do define each through our
humanity. We compress them into something that may be broader than the universe
we live in. They do not take up space. I can see this from both sides and I am
back to the soul and wisdom. One of my favorite assignments was an essay
question: explain the differences between wisdom and knowledge. This was a spur
of the moment assignments where they had no access to a dictionary. One of my
problems with the assignment is to first define wisdom and knowledge. I don’t
know that the dictionary is all that helpful in context.

noun
the
quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of
being wise.

the body of knowledge and principles that develops within a specified society
or period: the traditional farming wisdom of India.
Phrases:
in
someone's wisdom used
ironically to suggest that an action is not well judged: in their wisdom
they decided to dispense with him.
Origin: Old
English wīsdōm.
***

person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical
understanding of a subject: a thirst for knowledge |
her considerable knowledge of antiques.

hours. In the experience of living it seems to me that for survival’s sake
knowledge is more important. The wisdom if one survives the ordeal would come
later. Of course wisdom if available would help in making the choices to
survive both as an individual, a group or a species for that matter.
Post. – Amorella
0927
hours. I am not finished with this subject.
You
had a snack lunch as Carol is having her hair done. You tried a couple of
movies rated MA on Netflix but they were not what you were looking for. You
found Terminator (1984) and are watching it. – Amorella
1421
hours. I had forgotten how entertaining this film is, even today. Wow. Here’s
Carol. 1422
You drove to AAA and picked up a trip tick
to the South Carolina wedding site -- some bridge construction in Tennessee. Carol
is on page 73 of Reich’s Bones to Ashes. You are two hundred and some
words from completing Dead Ten. Let’s get to it. – Amorella
1631
hours. Two souls meet in four Turns. One says its name is Venerable (Venerable
Bede popped to mind). It seems to me another Latin word would work here, another
equal-like adjective used as a proper noun, so to speak. Maybe I’m off base
here.
Venerable
is a good word here, but let’s use it for open soul. Merlyn’s old soul we’ll
call Foretoken. – Amorella
1639
hours. It means a sign of something to come, but in this case the sign will
have come and gone. This is oddly humorous in context. Venerable has a sense of
being greatly revered as it is from the Latin, venerari. I like that Venerable sounds more dominant than
Foretoken, at least to my ears.
This is not about which soul has more power,
boy. Venerable, in this case, is open to more wisdom than Foretoken. Carol is
ready for home. – Amorella
Carol
is watching her Hallmark “Cove” story. You looked up venerari to find the Latin
dictionary’s meaning is 1. adore, revere, do homage to, honor, venerate; 2,
beg, pray, entreat; 3, worship. To be more exact in context in “Dead Ten, GMG2”
the meaning is: [a handler].
** **
entreat -
verb
2
[ with obj. ] archaic treat
(someone) in a specified manner: the King, I fear, hath ill entreated her.
entreatment
noun
Origin: late
Middle English (in the sense ‘treat, act toward (someone)’;
formerly also as intreat): from Old French entraitier,
based on traitier ‘to treat,’ from Latin tractare ‘to
handle.’
[Amorella
adds: The soul, Venerable, is a handler]

1836
hours. I like this very much, Amorella. Venerable in this context is an
excellent name for open soul.
This is the way your naked human spirit sees it,
boy. Thus, this is the way it plays out. – Amorella
1838
hours. According to Amorella my spirit writes. This is most humbling and also
most cool, that is, this is most exonerating for my simple spirit.
2056
hours. We watched NBC News, then most of “Masterpiece Mystery – P.D. James’s Death
Comes to Pemberley, Part I” until Carol grew tired of being stationary. We
are enjoying the three part adaptation of the book.
** **
Death Comes to Pemberley is a British novel by P.D. James that continues Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice with a murder
mystery.
Plot summary
The novel begins in October, 1803, six years after the
events in Pride and Prejudice which
resulted in the marriage of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy and Miss Elizabeth Bennet.
The Prologue and Book One introduce the main characters, summarize the
histories of the Bennet and Darcy families, and introduce a murder. The
remainder of the novel is about the mystery and its solution.
Adaptation
A serial of three sixty-minute episodes, also titled Death Comes to Pemberly, written by Juliette Towhidi
was made . . . for BBC One. It was telecast in the UK over three nights from 26
December 2013 as part of BBC's Christmas schedule and stars Anna Maxwell as
Elizabeth, Matthew Rhys as Mr Darcy, Jenna Coleman as Lydia, Matthew Goode as
Mr. Wickham and Trevor Eve as Sir Selwyn Hardcastle.

hours. It has taken a good while getting started but by the conclusion of the
first hour interest was peaking. We like a good murder mystery, particularly
now that there are three suspects of the murder, at least that is my belief.
Neither of us has read her books.
2143
hours. Is this right, Amorella, that Venerable
replies to Foretoken, “Merlyn’s
modesty”?
It is. – Amorella
**
**
modesty –
noun
the
quality or state of being unassuming or moderate in the estimation of one's
abilities: with typical modesty he insisted on sharing the credit with
others.
•
the quality of being relatively moderate, limited, or small in amount, rate, or
level: the modesty of his political aspirations.
•
behavior, manner, or appearance intended to avoid impropriety or indecency:
modesty forbade her to undress in front of so many people.

hours. What trick is here that Merlyn must unknowingly take on another soul to
protect his heartanmind from modesty?
It will break his heart in a thousand
pieces, boy. – Amorella
2201
hours. I cannot believe this.
It has happened. Post. – Amorella
2202
hours. I find this very troubling.
