Early
afternoon. You just completed your second thirty minute exercise of the week
and didn't want to say anything to jinx it. - Amorella
1252 hours. I would like to get three
in this week anyway. My thighs and lower back ache a bit but not enough to stop
as I am doing them. Low thunder surrounding those joints.
Working
on your own you came up with two lines for the bit of theatre:
Three Personas in Theatre -- Heart and Soul and
Mind
Setting: Atop a Rocky Landscape of Shifting
Boulders Galore
1300 hours. I was trying to pull up some
lines to settle into a location of mind where I might like to work. 'Shifting unconscious
boulders below was the attempt to pull out words to fit the occasion -- likely
chance. There is no tone of Our Town in them. Here's the thing,
Amorella, if you were a real Angel I secretly would have thought the same thing,
i.e. 'I can do my own work, I don't need and don't want any angelic help.
You
put need before want. - Amorella
1312 hours. Arrogance plain and
simple.
Arrogance
yes; plain and simple, no. - Amorella
1314 hours. I have no words here.
Besides
the four? - Amorella
1316 hours. You are being a smart ass.
That's your department, boy. - Amorella
You
had lunch, good leftover's from Kim and Paul. - Amorella
1342 hours. The ham was especially
tasty. Paul made his own sauce and burnt it on with a small blowtorch. Kim
mixes potato skins with mash potatoes. I like it, but it appears odd on the plate.
Amorella, I am anxious over this 'play' with my humanity. I am anxious because
it will show me (at least in the past it has) how I come to conclusions and
though I wish them all to be reasonable, it generally turns out that it is a
battle between heart and mind and heart mostly wins, and in my mind the heart
winning is a weakness.
To
paraphrase, Moby Dick, "That's a mouthful". - Amorella
1358 hours. I remember the line but
not where. It is near favorite lines which at present are scrambled.
Here it is in the text:
** **
Starbuck, first mate: It is our task in life to kill
whales, to furnish oil for the lamps of the world. If we perform that task well
and faithfully, we do a service to mankind that pleases Almighty God. Ahab
would deny all that. He has taken us from the rich harvest we were reaping to
satisfy his lust for vengeance. He is twisting that which is holy into
something dark and purposeless. He is a Champion of Darkness. Ahab's red flag
challenges the heavens.
Stubb: Well, sir, if it's like that, I don't wonder that you, a
religious man, might be a bit downcast. But I don't much see what you can do
about it.
Starbuck, first mate: Listen to this.
[He goes over
to a bookshelf, picks up a heavy book, opens it, and reads aloud from it]
Starbuck, first mate: "A captain who, from
private motives, employs his vessel for another purpose from that intended by
the owners, is answerable to the charge of usurpation, and his crew is morally
and legally entitled to employ forceful means in wresting his command from
him."
Stubb: Well, that's a
mouthful, I swear!
Flask: Wrest his command from him? Does that mean
take over?
Starbuck, first mate: It does, Mr. Flask.
Stubb: [incredulous] Why, you ain't
proposing we do any such thing?
Starbuck, first mate: [Starbuck
indicates yes]
Stubb: You're in dangerous waters, Mr. Starbuck! Come on over; come about!

1415 hours. I see the humor. On ship
it is act of usurpation, Starbuck is suggesting to take Captain Ahab's place as
captain. The crew is against it. This is a powerful line meaning to take over
the ship, to wrestle Ahab's command. Yet, for me here in the post I am showing
myself to be timid within my own heartansoulanmind. Amorella, you are something
else.
Post.
- Amorella
1422 hours. These posts are for my
intent. The lessons are for me. I accept this because, overall, I know I know
less than nothing but hate to admit it. I don't know why this blog has to be shared,
sharing makes me free of it, but I don't know why. - rho
1434 hours.
Carol
found the TV remote to be wanting. You replaced it at Cincinnati Bell Fioptics
and stopped to order a Papa John's pizza on the way home. Almost always
excellent as it was tonight. You watched an episode of "Blind Spot"
and episode three of "The Crown" and a part of The Kennedy Center
program on CBS. - Amorella
2203 hours. I did not realize I share
the blog because I am your student. I do think of you, the Amorella, as my teacher
as observing what humanity is, but it is only my humanity and my lack of
humanity as example. I use myself because I know no one else so intimately in
heartansoulanmind, and it seems I do not know my own heartansoulanmind as much
as I might. It may sound silly but the old Boy Scout motto holds true: "Be
Prepared". In life one should prepare for death by knowing one's self.
That is my philosophy. How else to confront possibly nothing at all or to
confront an Angelic being or something else entirely. It appears a necessity to
me, but only perhaps I am nearing the end. Some study the Bible or other
religious text to find themselves. I accept, the Amorella, as my teacher
because I might learn something about myself I do not know about the core of my
humanity and the lack of it. Thinking of myself as a very private person and
then opening the pages of my private and core thoughts stretches my trust in my
fellow humanity to whatever limits I have. This is nothing dramatic even with
the continued audience a few. Very ordinary person you and I both find here.
One of my good friends recently remarked on encountersinmind that how could
anyone find time to read such when she or he is busy with her or his own life.
He figures that any who reads this blog doesn't have a life. That's his
opinion. I readily accept it and assume curiosity hits the reader in the same
way quora-dot-com affects its readers. Life is interesting. I am rattling on.
My own students these years ago would be asleep even with their eyes open. I've
done it myself. I write because I have no choice. I am not 'alone, all alone on
a particular sea'. My problem will come when I realize I write and have nothing
to say. (2228)
That
will not happen on my watch, boy. I observe your heartansoulanmind daily. I
keep you honest where it counts most. With honesty grows dignity and humanity.
You know this. Post. - Amorella
2235 hours. I live until I don't. I am
conscious until I am not.
