Mid-afternoon. You are facing west under an oak at the small park just below Alum Creek earth and concrete centered dam. Carol is on page 187 of Coben's Home. The dam gates are open and allowing a steady controlled flow downstream towards Westerville and points on south. The sky is mostly a clear Autumn blue with fairly steady traffic on the east/west Lewis Center Road to Africa where it becomes Big Walnut Road on east. Much quieter here than at home. - Amorella
1535 hours. Kim and Paul came to the house at noon to help adjust a master bedroom window into place. It came out while Carol was washing the window. Once it was in place and locked, we drove to Rusty Bucket west of crossroads Polaris and Africa where we four had a tasty lunch. Very pleasant family time.
Yesterday you suggested that you cannot imagine a meet and greet of your physical and spiritual selves. You are perhaps a bit more sensitive to this perspective than others, especially since you do not see the spiritual self as religious. - Amorella

You have rearranged your definitions to better suit your sense of format in context and you were about to delete "(the Spirit) short for Holy Spirit," in the last part of the definition of the noun, 'spirit'. You stopped short of doing so, why?- Amorella
1611 hours. Somehow it seems blasphemous to do so (delete the words "Holy Spirit" in this context) deep down. I know it is not literal, that "Holy Spirit" is a concept not literally words but it appears blasphemous and arrogant to delete it. The idea makes me highly uncomfortable.
Are your present thoughts here because you still feel that I, the Amorella, am truly Angelic and not an imaginary being, an internal writer of your own personal self?
Later, at 2042 hours. I say this, "I have my doubts that you, Amorella, are Angelic as such, but I have less doubt that you could be an inbetweener, a spirit less than Angelic, but a spirit that is not of our material world, perhaps a spirit similar to what I feel is the 'soul' within our humanity, within our individual heartsansoulsanminds. There have been moments, more fully explained in my 2010 through 2018 blog, 'Encounters in Mind'. In those few times I felt an 'Angelic Presence' within at times and at other times close by, that is, within the same room I was." This is the reason I consider myself a Transcendentalist. Now, in this deeper context I have less doubt that you, the Amorella, have been 'Angelic-like' or even 'Angelic' in Spirit that I, a human being humbly accept as having happened, I accept I have 'sensed' an Angel in the room. To deny this would be to deny an honest truth. And I say this in front of you, the Amorella, that you might have taken a Form of a real Angel. Were I dead my spirit would stand and humbly accept that you 'were' Angelic. I would have no choice. I have no choice now as I am writing/stating this.
