       1649 hours. I cannot decide what two blog pages to drop into Facebook today. 

       Note 179 and note 181 will do. - Amorella

       1702 hours. Thank you, Amorella.

       You are at Slate Hollow Park and Carol is beginning Chapter Twenty-Eight on this quiet peaceful afternoon in the woods. -- You do not know what notes to choose because to do so you have an added intent. You want to remain neutral because you assume a few people will read each week and this is supposed to be a smattering of what the week of blog pages is. - Amorella

       1708 hours. Intent is and always has been a factor in my writings. Who know the unconscious intent of heart and mind when laid out in the blogs such as this? I cannot imagine Ms Havisham having any intent beyond protection and comfort.

       Clarity in point of view will do nicely. mh

       This is when a person's fully functioning spiritual heartanmind ask for help just as you ask Amorella for help. You ask Amorella before me because you trust her on a more personal level. I protect and comfort you when you need it even though you might not recognize this consciously. - mh

       Tomorrow, we continue on 'intent'. Post. - Amorella

       One of your main 'intents' is to learn what you can about being human, about how it is for everyone to be spiritual in their own individual manner. You share yourself towards that intent. You are not a great teacher; you are a human being like everyone else. This is the way you want it. You are content with your lot in life. - mh

       2307 hours. I do not see things this way. I don't see myself content, but I am not rushed. I enjoy my attempt to learn more how it is being human in my own way. This is retirement at its best from my perspective. I have indeed had a good life. Amazing. Who would have thought this would be? Not me.
