Monday morning. You are facing northeast at Shale Hollow Park. Carol is walking the path. A very pleasant and relatively quiet place but for small talking nearby as the older couple climb up the hill with their walking sticks in hand. Last night before bed you mentioned yesterday's blog to your online Facebook friends -- asking if they had any comments or advice without putting the blog page on your Facebook page. Six friends replied with a thumb's up. You checked and six people had read the blog page last night. - Amorella
1022 hours. The response gives me some outside myself clarity. I find it a necessity from time to time. It is a beautiful quiet morning in the natural treed woods. A bright male cardinal stops close by and peeps in amongst the thriving undergrowth. It is amazing how much this little Delaware County park's terrain reminds me of the Hocking Hills and it's only five miles away from home. What a nice surprise this place was.
Sharing is an activity of the soul not the heart. mh
1035 hours. Now this is interesting, Miss Havisham. I am thinking of Valentine's Day. Why do people think it is the heart's activity?
In your culture it is probably because the heart icon with the arrow through it is associated with the day. mh
Carol returned after about a thirty-minute walk. She is now reading her Coben book after pleasant conversation about the park and the people walking (with more little kids are showing up). - Amorella
1106 hours. What you need is an icon too, Miss Havisham, that is, one to represent the soul.
Your culture has the arrow through the heart representing being struck down with love. I would rather represent friendship, people are not struck down by true friendship, they are as married but not; they have chemistry, a bond. Friends are as amalgamated; stronger together than apart. Friends are stronger than lovers. mh
1112 hours. Though I am surprised by your remark, I like the decency in it. I find, without too much trouble, that I agree with you.
Post. - Amorella
Cat got your tongue, orndorff? Post. - Amorella
You have been home relaxing in the black bedroom lounger. Carol pops in once in a while as does Jadah. - Amorella
1329 hours. I have been thinking on Miss Havisham's statement: "Friends are stronger than lovers." Many people who are contentedly married for any length of time are friends first, lovers (if that) second. I have to define 'lover' to make sure what I am talking about.

lover - noun - a person having a sexual or romantic relationship with someone, often outside marriage.

1336 hours. Here's the problem "having a sexual or romantic relationship". I find this confusing the definition. Now I have to look up the difference between sexual and romantic. (I don't think people pay that much attention to what they write or say. Words are supposed to have specific meanings.)
** **
sexual - adjective 1 relating to the instincts, physiological processes, and activities connected with physical attraction or intimate physical contact between individuals: she had felt the thrill of a sexual attraction.
romantic - adjective 1 conducive to or characterized by the expression of love: a romantic candlelit dinner. • (of a person) readily demonstrating feelings of love: he's very handsome, and so romantic. • relating to love or to sexual relationships: after their romantic relationship ended they became great friends | her romantic adventures | romantic fiction.

1345 hours. The two words 'slide' together in meaning. I wonder which one is on top? That's the rub. Even on the bottom the lover may know who is really on top. The humor of nature or is it the nature of humor? There is always a slippery path whether it's in the grammar or in the biology. It seems to me that if one has a romantic and a sexual relationship she/he has a one-upmanship over having one or the other. What do you think of this, Miss Havisham? Does the soul deal with this sort of thing or is it a mind only or heart only perspective?
1359 hours. Really. I would not have thought this at all. Irony and humor seem like heartanmind togetherness.
Irony and humor rise above the level of heart or mind or both together. This is the reason people have trouble defining what humor is. Irony bounces humor up one more level. mh
1406 hours. I need a break. There is more here than meets the eye.
Yes, Mr. Orndorff. Indeed, there is. mh
