Notes - intuition plus images / I am content



       This afternoon you have been gleaning more material about the seven hundreds in Canterbury. You have for example, references to St. Peters Church where Theodore [Canterbury School] was buried. There are two particularly good photos to put in. Outside description you can use for the first Canterbury Church where St. Augustine reigned and a glimpse into the past as to how the school might have been, of course with tables and benches as well as chairs.

From St. Peters Church where Theodore is buried. [use description with Cathedral]

"On the left hand side of St. Peter's Street, as we pass through the city, is the church of St. Peter, so long neglected and disused, but restored to use and service by members of St. Augustine's College. The architectural history of the fabric has been somewhat obscured by the bad treatment it has received. The small square tower at the west end of the south aisle contains a large number of Roman tiles used up in it's construction; it is of early Norman date, though subsequently altered. There is other obviously Norman work of a plain description at the west end. The font is a massive square (2ft. 3 in.) of Bethersden marble, and is probably of the same period; a seventeenth-century font-cover is in a kind of vestry at the west end of the wide south aisle, and the elaborate ironwork and pulleys for its support could be restored. Over a covered shelter to the south doorway rests the elaborate late Renaissance tester of a once handsome pulpit of its kind. The pulpit itself is in the keeping of a gentleman in the county, who rescued it from a builders yard, and would gladly restore it for re-use. The modern prentence as a pulpit is a naked thing of thin metal rods, surmounted by a wooden rail. At the east end of the south aisle, on the north side, is a curious little rectangular niche formed of pieces of timber. On the north side of the altar is a handsome Easter Sepulchre recess, which goes through into the north aisle. Lack of space prevents any attempt at clearing up the architectural development of this somewhat interesting church, which so ingeniously adapted itself to a most confined and irregular site."

Bench Concept for Canterbury School

         1813 hours. I added three extra photos to give me a better idea of how to use my imagination for description.

         The point of the photographs is for emersion into the setting. You feel this is necessary. – Amorella

         2138 hours. This is what I do. What is interesting is that these last two photographs remind me of the photos used to image heartansoul.

         The above images capture your sense of the heart and the soul architecturally. - Amorella

         2202 hours. Below are examples of my intuition running true. The post on 3 May 2011 shows this. Similar to what images I choose in 2016.

        Do you consider the intuitive insight more pure as that is what you consider my own vehicle for adaptive personification? – Amorella.

         I consider you in this present context as an internal creative medium between me and words thus it is not difficult to exaggerate this condition into your being ‘Panagiotakis-like. You haven’t suggested that I read the entrails of any animal for instance. You are word bound only, a leaf in Merlyn books and blog, Amorella. In other words, I see neither one of us as real shamans. I was about to say that you are closer to a muse than a shaman, but then I have two muses, pieces of church architecture – the interiors of ancient Canterbury Cathedral and the Washington National Cathedral. This was at your suggestion.

         Look for a photo of the two on Google. – Amorella.



Canterbury Cathedral [Heart]



One Room School House [Soul]

         The above images capture your sense of the heart and the soul architecturally. - Amorella

         What comes to mind is Hemingway’s short story title: “Big Two-Hearted River”. The image of the school house soul I had not considered; but I do, it fits in my mind as do the other two, though they too were not thought of a an image of the human heart, at least I do not think so, in fact, it was a cathedral image that in my mind one time conjured the soul not the heart in terms of poetic image.

         You have learned something about yourself. You can talk to Takis later. Time for lunch. Post. – Amorella.

         Post. - Amorella


         2236 hours. This shows to me in symbolic image form how my heart and soul are true to who I am. – rho

         Who am I to move a heart and soul. A long ago reminder (May 2003)  from your muse, Laney, “Are you content?” – Amorella

         2239 hours. At present I am content with who I am.

         Good. - Amorella
