Later evening. You both had a snack-like supper, watched NBC local and national news, then last Friday's "Blue Bloods", an episode three of the nineth season of "Midsomer Murders" for further relaxation. - Amorella
2200 hours. You haven't been describing the day as in the "Encounters in Mind" blog.
No, but periodically I drop something in as a reminder to the few who read periodically, that life with the Orndorff's goes on much as before. You like to secretly think that your soul finds its way to the headstone and plot in the old supposedly haunted section of Otterbein Cemetery, at least this was believed so by your mother and some her family and friends during the heyday of their younger lives in the nineteen thirties. - Amorella
2207 hours. I do wonder from time to time about the soul and what it might do on its own. I was reading about such a myth in Japanese lore in Wikipedia this morning. It was under a headline of "Living Ghost" which mostly was written on an old film in the 1940's. The paranormal does not affect my imagination as it once did. Most of the stories don't seem to be based on reality, just folklore, like the haunted section of Otterbein Cemetery. I'm haunted enough as is, I don't need to entertain myself reading such stories anymore.
One of your entertainments is reading Quora dot com about social situations, some rather explicit. - Amorella
2216 hours. It is. When I delivered newspapers in the early 1950's and up through college and even on to today I have always been fascinated about human behavior. Ann Landers had a column and so did her sister. I read them regularly as I still do so through their modern counterparts. Normally I read what comes up on Quora no matter what it is, but I like human stories, most of them explicit because they are secret and very real human stories.
Much like your own stories? - Amorella
2222 hours. I feel freer spiritually if I write the truth as I see it. An old historic line comes to mind which I am paraphrasing: 'Here I sit and write because I can do no other.' I am comforted by the fact that when I am dead and gone I will have said all I have to say, and quietly too. I don't care who reads it and what people think about it if anything. As far as I know I mostly write fiction because I have the imagination for it. Let the reader, if there remain one or two decide for herorhimself if anything is important enough to be remembered. Shoot, I forget things every day, always have as long as I can remember. I have had anything but a boring life. I have a soul and heart and mind, mostly intact but sometimes shuffled in parts. If the heartansoulanmind and their varied memories, the human spirit, moves on to other realms, then fine. If all my words burned with my ashes I will still have kept true to myself warts and all. . . . I spend too much time dwelling on my own condition, but with empathy and a bit of imagination, I feel I better understand myself in relationship to many who are alive as well as with those who are dead. We may only come this way once, and I want to learn what there is to know about ourselves and life as it is on this planet. Some of it is explicit, and it like other things affects each part of our spirit, our hearts and souls and minds -- just like those once seven deadly sins and seven virtues -- we all live through them one way or another. One cannot survive as a human being without living though them and the terrible passions, both positive and negative that we all deal with from time to time -- even if it is only in our heads.
See, you had something to say even when you thought you did not. - Amorella
2243 hours. I've probably thought, said or written the words many times. I have problems with memory, always have had.
