Notes - dreary but warm / spiritual boundary /

         1215 hours. Winter Solstice begins tonight just before mid-night local time.

         You were up earlier than usual, read the paper, had a warm bath for arthritic pains, stopped at Quick Cuts to see Mary Ann for a hair and beard trim then home, a short rest, then forty minutes of exercises and you find yourself here and done for the day. Carol has her hair to do at three; then she is done for the day (after two loads laundry and some ironing earlier this dark, gray and rainy morning). –  Amorella

         1239 hours. It is better not going up today. Now, I think it might be better if we come home Thursday so they can have Xmas for themselves without older people around. Carol just climbed into bed for an hour nap. Good for her – she is always busy with one thing or another.

         Later, dude. – Amorella

         Late afternoon. Carol has errands at the bank and post office, you didn’t go because the garage door would not shut. After she left you discovered the problem and fixed it. An empty trash bag had dropped onto a piece of electronics that shorted the circuit. You moved the bag and the door works. – Amorella

         1640 hours. The wind must have forced the bag to drop below the shelf it was setting on. I told Carol to leave because she had to get to both before their closings at five. Tomorrow we plan on being at Kim and Paul’s around one in the afternoon.

         Post. – Amorella

         The Xmas tree is lit and Jadah is sitting under it waiting for Carol’s return. Spooky is also sitting at the window and waiting. Hmm. I’ll bet they are waiting for supper  (it’s a little early yet). I’ll give it to them anyway.

         Mid-evening by my reckoning. You have been listening to music on your bedroom Bose, mostly on Pandora, mostly Sixties Folk Music. [Put ‘by my reckoning’ back in boy]. – Amorella

         2108 hours. I am surprised. I thought I had added it by accident. I don’t think you have ever said ‘reckoning’ and it appears out of character, especially in reference to time, which you accept as droplets. ‘Reckoning’ reminds me of choosing the correct direction on a ship. I’ll check.

reckoning – noun

1 by my reckoning, this comes to $2 million: calculation, estimation, count, computation, working out, summation, addition.

2 by her reckoning, the train was late: opinion, view, judgment, evaluation, estimate, estimation.

3 the terrible reckoning that he deserved: retribution, fate, doom, nemesis, punishment.

         2114 hours. Obviously the word has other aspects besides ships.

         To paraphrase, ‘when in Rome note the customs in order to communicate’. – Amorella

         2119 hours. Surely then, you have done this before, you, a Betweener, have communicated with human beings before.

         Is this a question or a statement? – Amorella

         2122 hours. It appears a question since you have concluded it with a question mark.

         Is your 2119 hours comment a question or a statement? – Amorella

         2124 hours. I wasn’t sure to your reference. I thought it might be that but you stated, “Is this”. – I am out of my element here. I would feel better backing up.

         This, the above, shows that you do not wish to overstep your bounds, that you see me as a spiritual creature akin to being Angelic and that as such you have no business correcting my grammar. This is the inference is it not? – Amorella

         2129 hours. I have taught myself the metaphoric lesson: Do not step/stand too close. The reason for this is that too close means not being respectful as well as being highly uncomfortable in the situation. Examples of this are scattered throughout this blog and earlier notes. This is my experience and as such my sense of a spiritual reality. It may be subjective to others but it is a reality to me. And, to be who I am, I must respect this distance within my mind as well as in heart and soul. This is the same with anyone who knows who and what she or he is – spiritual boundaries are ‘subjectively’ constructed and must be ‘objectively’ adhered to within. I sense this with the Amorella from time to time and assume (rightly for me) that I have overstepped and am out of my element and as such in a literal ‘No Human Zone’.  – rho

         You are, in this sense of grammatical construction, spiritually correct with regards to Betweeners and Angels. Your sense of G---D with the dashes between the letters shows this boundary within yourself. Existence/Beyond are one element. G---D is G---D. This is an limitless distinction, a rule as you see it. I, the Amorella, concur. Post.
