Mid-afternoon. Palm Sunday. You are sitting
in the car waiting for Carol to finish a phone call. The windows are down and
in the house some windows are up as it is seventy-three degrees with a pleasant
breeze and a nearly cloudless sky. You are planning on going to the park or
cemetery for reading and keyboarding shortly. - Amorella
You stopped for fuel at
Kroger's and McD's for Egg McMuffin sandwiches and diet Cokes then drove down
Mason-Montgomery to Graeter's for two kids' cups of black cherry and chocolate
chip. Earlier you did twenty-three minutes of exercises with some pain
alleviated after fifteen minutes worth. Next, the heating and massage pad on the
lower back while sitting in the black bedroom chair. - Amorella
1607 hours. We are sitting at the far north end of Pine Hill Lakes Park
facing the hill with flowering trees and bushes plus tree buds. Spring is here
weather-wise. Some small purple wildflowers are out, a little larger than the
Spring beauties we have under the trees in the northeast front yard at home. I
don't see any clouds at this time. Cool. I can't get my mind off Ahab and Moby
Dick though. What a book that was. What an author. If I had a symbiotic
relationship to any author's soul it would be Melville's, no question about it
from my point of view.
Were you expecting me to disagree? -
Amorella
1622 hours. No, immediately after I hit the keyboard I expected you
to question me about symbiotic relationship of souls because souls don't have
any biology. I feel souls can be connected to one another as "soulmates" so it would follow that regardless of sexual orientations
one could have a soulmate with another without consciously realizing it, or
even unconsciously realizing it for that matter.
Keeping to Soki's Choice, what would you
think of Ship (who has an attached soul) having a soulmate with his counterpart
on ThreePlanets? - Amorella
1630 hours. The machinery(s) are two of a kind, I don't see a problem.
What about Ship having a soulmate who is
marsupial humanoid or even human? - Amorella
1631 hours. I don't know if I have considered this before; it appears
odd to me though. What would be the common thread?
1633 hours. I was thinking a soul for higher machine consciousness would
be different from a soul attached to biological consciousness.
Why? - Amorella
1634 hours. I don't know, Amorella. It wouldn't be right for biological
beings and machine beings to have the same type of soul.
Is this because one of the two would have a
'higher' more sophisticated soul than the other? - Amorella
1637 hours. I thought that we had just established in the story that the
Marsupial humanoids and the Homo sapiens have common souls. It doesn't seem
right that biologically oriented souls would be the same as machine
(computer-oriented) souls.
Who are you to say this with any authority?
- Amorella
1642 hours. Back to me being a "74 year old male". I am the author I
can set the standards.
I set the standards on the metaphysics. -
Amorella
1645 hours. I gave you the authority already. Considering my station in
life, that is my circumstance in life; yes, it makes sense even if you were but
a complicated figment of my imagination (in writing and thought only) separated
from myself as in a dual personality. Yes, as long as you are consistent in
your 'Being' then this works as a literary/artistic device.
1653 hours. I am wordless, even thoughtless at the moment. --> Carol is on
page 342 of The House of Secrets. Some daffodils are still blooming and
several varieties of birds make themselves clear for us to see from time to
time; young robins and finches and wrens mostly. (1658)
I, the Amorella, am making souls clearer
for you to see boy. - Amorella
1659 hours. In a fiction. But, you are right; as long as you remain
consistent and I remain consistent then in a literary sense the physics and the
metaphysics should be okay.
Post, when plausible. - Amorella
1702 hours. I am at a disadvantage here.
This is your existential
circumstance. You put yourself in this mental/spiritual place through a lifetime of
thought and subsequent actions of your own choice. - Amorella
1707 hours. I agree. I thought they might be useful in thinking and
writing something different and worthwhile.
A lifetime of thinking and writing for whom?
- Amorella
1710 hours. For me. I thought I might learn something. This short
conversation is one I might have when dead and am meeting an Angel or real
Betweener.
So you think. - Amorella
1712 hours. Pure conjecture. Even the humor.
Once home you relaxed as
Carol cleaned the house, which from your opinion is not dirty because Jill was
here last Wednesday. Tomorrow is an open day and is supposed to be as nice as
today has been weather-wise. Tuesday, you have an appointment with Dr. B. and
you have to cut out your vitamin/mineral pills as well as your fish oil pills
until after your colonoscopy on the eighteenth. Thursday, you are up to Kim and
Paul's to take care of Owen on Friday as Kim will be working at careers for
individual seniors at Kenyon. Carol will be staying with Gayle after her arm
operation on Thursday. - Amorella
1952 hours. Something you
said earlier has me thinking but not consciously. I have read this a couple of
times now and I can't make any connection -- it is related to what a soul is
and can do; being soulmates is really all I have. Other than it is built to hold
a heart and mind. I guess I can no longer write 'human-like heart' if we
include that Ship can develop a 'heart' from machine higher consciousness and
mind. Shoot, the 'Tin Man' wanted a heart so I guess it is not too off the mark.
Tonight you called and
talked to Craig and Alta. In June, they will arrive in Tampa on a Monday. You
will have Saturday and Sunday to yourselves as Kim, Paul and the boys will
leave the condo for home Friday afternoon before so they can be home Sunday
before they both return to work on Monday. When you leave the condo the second
Saturday you, Carol and Craig and Alta will o drive to Atlanta to see Jim and
Jean then the four of you will drive to Memphis and focus on the theme of early
blues and jazz. After a day or two in Memphis you four will drive to Nashville
still focusing on early blues and jazz and from Nashville home to Cincinnati
and when they leave you will take them to Port Columbus (John Glenn International) for their flight to Chicago and then to Tucson. That's the
plan at present. - Amorella
2211
hours. We are excited already; always great looking forward to see
old friends.
