Mid-afternoon.
Another busy day. Carol's monthly Medicaid bill did not arrive so you drove
over to Hamilton via SR 129 to SR 4 to send it from their office. You did not
get up until eleven or so because lower back pain was bad. You took a low grade
pain pill around four, waited an hour for it to kick in, then slept in. Carol
has been cleaning up the house though you don't see that it needs done
especially since the cleaning lady is coming tomorrow morning and Craig and
Alta don't arrive until mid-afternoon. Yesterday was special because Gary P.
called mid-morning to see if you wanted to go to Sammy's for lunch, which you
did. He picked you up at noon and you had a very good time with your old Mason
High comrade and friend. - Amorella
1532 hours. He
bought lunch and I bought dessert at Graeter's. We spent two hours mostly
talking. I do miss seeing Gary most every day as I saw him most every day
during school from 1984 through 2003.
Such days those were. - Amorella
1536 hours.
And, such days 1972 through 1984 school years were at Indian Hill. One would
think there would have been quite a contrast but there was not. I still had college
prep and honors students; the main difference is I also picked up AP students
at Mason. Lyn Van Aiken (English department) had been my closest colleague at
Indian Hill and Gary Popplewell (student counselor) was my closest at Mason. In
Sao Paulo I also had one close colleague, Roger Allain (French department).
Without those special friends I would not have survived internally. I think of
each as a soul friend rather than a heart friend or mind friend.
You went to Panera for supper, Carol
had her half salad and you had an oatmeal; after a quick trip to Kroger's you
went home and watched NBC News and last night's "NCIS". Both of you
have been touching up the house for both Jill in the morning and Craig and Alta
in the afternoon. Carol is making part of dinner in the morning. Nothing special
for CanA's first night. You assume they'll be tired from the two and a half day
drive from Tucson. After supper though (meatloaf, baked potatoes and veggies) a
trip to Graeter's for dessert. - Amorella
2211 hours.
I've been thinking about the soul-friend, heart-friend and mind-friend. If
friends can be divided up as such what does this say about friendship; at least
my friendships here for example?
Initially above and out of the blue you started
the ball rolling on this by declaring all three soul-friends. - Amorella
2223 hours.
That's my intuition talking. I think of the three as deep friends because I
have confessed secrets about my thoughts on philosophy, poetry and metaphysics
in those years I knew them. I think of them as brothers because we can talk
about such things.
What about Bob Pringle? You two also had
such discussions. Do you consider Bob an equal soul friend? - Amorella
2228 hours. I
am not measuring friendships Amorella.
Then what are you measuring when you say the
four are soul friends? What makes them different from other friends?
Confessions on heartansoulanmind? That's what you are doing on this blog, how
is that any different? - Amorella
2231 hours. You
are right. I am measuring friendships but that wasn't my original intent.
What was your original intent? - Amorella
2232 hours. It
seems to me that friends may be considered equal but that the themes of the
friendships are different.
These four are all male. Do you have a
female friend that you can put in the same classification? - Amorella
2235 hours. No.
Why? - Amorella
2236 hours.
Because to me female friends add an underlying sexual component. This sound awkward
because male friends do also. Male friends are comrades in arms so to speak, we
think more alike at least my four above do or did when alive.
How will these four friendships interact
when you are all physically dead? - Amorella
2242 hours.
Man, Amorella. I have no idea.
What about you and your female friends with
Carol being one of them of course? - Amorella
2234 hours. I'm
going to assume the sexual aspects of the Dead would be long forgotten without
the physical aspects being there.
Why would you assume that? Everyone's
spiritual heart is sexually oriented. How could one define what one had been, a
human being without a sexual orientation present to help define who one was.
Where would the learning be if one forgot who she or he had been in the course
of developing her or his individual heart and mind, particularly as it is set
up in the blog and books; that is the heartanmind are absorbed into the
immortal soul for safekeeping in the spiritual world. - Amorella
2251 hours. I
don't know. It seems rather complex and awkward, particularly if the friends
had been physical partners.
One can imagine a physical partnership in
life, when there isn't one physically. What one imagines is also a part of
heartansoulanmind, is it not? - Amorella
2253 hours.
This doesn't seem proper to think on.
If it were real, and it is proper to think
on, then what? - Amorella
2255 hours. If
it were a real situation among the heartsansoulsanminds of the Dead I would
think some male and female friends are going to catch a lot of hell from other
heartsansoulsanminds. As I think on this I see one ironic awkward comedy of
errors after another.
Humor binds people together, perhaps more
than love. What do you think of that, boy. - Amorella
2259 hours. I
agree, Amorella. In context humor does just that.
Post. - Amorella
