186. Notes - Dear Richard, / spiritual analogy

186. 12 August 2019

       Change of pace today. You have to be at Kim and Paul's by ten o'clock to pick up Owen and Brennan and take them to Orange Township Park for a run and play about. Lunch out. And, over to your house for most of the afternoon as Kim has many tele-conferences today. - Amorella

       0839 hours. I need to focus on Ms Havisham today. She needs to have her say on how things are from her perspective. I spend all my time pondering and experiences. What does she like to do? What would she do if she were an actual person? What would she do if she were Amorella-like or even an Angel if such exist in the spirit world. I think it is unfair that she has to put up with the likes of me when she could be free of that. (0843)

       Dear Richard, 

       You are attempting to humanize me when I do not have such human desires to be free. What a strange thing for you to think, for me to be a person or Amorella-like or even Angelic. Thank you for your thoughts, but no, I am what I am, a soul who is full, not empty. I am a spiritual being built to serve a grand purpose, to protect and comfort a human or human-like spiritual being who is also living physical universe. 

                                           Love,

                                    Ms Havisham

       Post, orndorff. - Amorella

       0853 hours. How can you live without wanted to be free?

       We are not living, Dear Richard. You are. - Amorella

         You are at Orange Park. Carol is walking, you are sitting in the car within most of a full view of the park equipment, all of the upper level. - Amorella

       1044 hours. Fortunately, the sky is partially overcast and it is still in the 70's. How do the Dead connect with the Living?

       They don't. - Amorella

       How does the spirit world connect with the Living? 

       Capitalize, please, Mr. Orndorff. - mh

       1050 hours. First, what is the difference between your Spirit World and Amorella's Spirit World?

       We need an analogy, Amorella. - mh

       Use Aristotle. - Amorella

Classical element

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Classical elements typically refer to the concepts in ancient Greece of earth, water, air, fire, and (later) aether, which were proposed to explain the nature and complexity of all matter in terms of simpler substances.  . . .

 In Europe, the Ancient Greek system of Aristotle evolved slightly into the medieval system, which for the first time in Europe became subject to experimental verification in the 1600s, during the Scientific Revolution.  . . .

Greece

 

The ancient Greek concept of five basic elements, these being earth, water, air, fire and aether, dates from pre-Socratic times and persisted throughout the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, deeply influencing European thought and culture.  . . .

In his On Generation and Corruption, Aristotle related each of the four elements to two of the four sensible qualities:

·      Fire is both hot and dry.

·      Air is both hot and wet. 

·      Water is both cold and wet.

·      Earth is both cold and dry.

. . .

        Aristotle added a fifth element, aether, as the quintessence, reasoning that whereas fire, earth, air, and water were earthly and corruptible, since no changes had been perceived in the heavenly regions, the stars cannot be made out of any of the four elements but must be made of a different, unchangeable, heavenly substance. . . .

       Time for lunch. - Amorella 

       You are at DSW Shoes off Polaris Blvd. after a turtle sundae with two scoops, a Graeter's freebee for your birthday. Very warm. Earlier, at two, you dropped off the boys because though Kim had another call, Paul was on his way home from Marion General. Kim said that she or Paul would come over later to help with the transfer of data from the old iMac to the new after you confessed your anxiety on your probability of making an error. - Amorella

       1451 hours. It is fun watching the ladies come out of the store with a sack of new shoes. Each looks satisfied with her new pick. The place is packed with cars. -- I'm a little anxious about what comes next. Analogies are fun but I cannot imagine any analogy that would work with both the spirit and the physical worlds. 

       Consciousness works every time otherwise there would be no communication between you and your soul and you and me either. Pretty looking lady going on the store, huh? Young man. - Amorella

       1501 hours. You're embarrassing me, Amorella. She was early middle-aged, 5'6", shoulder length straight black hair, tan, slender, wearing a shorter, black, half-see-through dress, sandals and she was wearing jet black bikini-like underpants or swimwear and hand-holding a one five to six-year-old child supposedly in for her new school shoes. 

       

       Home. I didn't need a rundown, boy. - Amorella

       1531 hours. That's funny, Amorella. I did a quick flash-back and kept writing. Sorry. 

       Now you can hardly remember her at all. - mh

       1534 hours. That's funny too, Ms Havisham. That shows my sense of consciousness doesn't last too long. 

       Time for a break. Post. - Amorella

Question: What is the difference between your Spirit World Ms Havisham

                       and Amorella's Spirit World?

Aristotle relates each of the four elements to two of the four sensible qualities:

·      Fire is both hot and dry.

·      Air is both hot and wet. 

·      Water is both cold and wet.

·      Earth is both cold and dry.

. . .

Aristotle adds a fifth element, aether, as the quintessence which is unchangeable.

Ms Havisham's Analogy:

The Basic Spiritual Element is Unchangeable Unconsciousness

Divide Unchangeable Unconsciousness into Four Qualities each with one Conditional.

Fire    Air     Water   Earth =   Spiritual Thought

Hot    Wet    Cold     Dry  =     Spiritual Movement

** ****

       I, Ms Havisham, have three qualities: Air, Water and Earth; and three Conditionals: Wet, Cold and Dry. 

      Amorella has all four qualities: Fire, Air, Water and Earth; and four Conditionals: Hot, Wet, Cold and Dry.              

       Enough for today, orndorff. Post. - Amorella

       2258 hours. Very interesting and worthy of great study on my part. Thank you. I am overwhelmed. 

       It is worthy of deep thought not study. - Amorella

       2301 hours. Yes. I agree wholeheartedly.  I am humbled by the thought.

185. Notes - intend / getting old

185. 11 August 2019

       Mid-afternoon. Carol is on Chapter 29 of The House of Secrets. Yesterday morning, Paul came over with the boys and he put together your new computer desk for Carol new iMac. It took a couple of hours and you helped by screwing in most of the screws and sliding wood pieces in and gluing where needed to strengthen major parts of the furniture. The boys played with their electronics while listening to a kid's Netflix program in the background. Today, you unboxed the iMac and placed it on the desk. Later, you will crank it up for the first time then after all is settled you'll drop in all her material and pictures from the old iMac which fortunately had been upgraded to Snow Leopard so it can more easily be transferred. - Amorella

       1447 hours. The old iMac was from 2008, so it is not as old as I had thought. Anyway, now that we have the furniture in place we can look for a couple of new chairs for the sunroom so it is more usable. The north wall of the room is basically a large window with a sliding door attached at the west side. Very pleasant, relaxing view of the pastoral countryside. I'll just need to buy a footstool to prop my feet up for my MacBook and me to research and write. Yesterday, you said that we would continue with the word 'intent' today. 

       That I did, orndorff. This time though I am going within the verb form, intend.  is the meaning I'm speaking of: "2, design or destine (someone or something) for a particular purpose or end:" - Amorella

       1505 hours. I know what this is about. 

       Tell me. Do tell. - Amorella

       1507 hours. Back when I was twelve or thereabouts I had a flash vision that I could become a someone well-known or a regular person. I was shy inbetweener, an introvert, I knew I would not be comfortable with being a 'known' figure in the world. I remember that it was time for me to make up my mind about who I would be when I grew up, that is, what kind of occupation I would take. At the time I thought about being a writer, a newspaper reporter, because I already liked history and politics. It seemed a natural fit from my perspective at the time. Later, in my freshman year at Otterbein, Colonel Thackery, my English professor, talked me out of it because reporters didn't make a long-term decent salary. He said I should be a teacher of English so at least I would have a pension at the end of my career. He had had a good career in the news business -- one of his biggest stories was front page in New York City, writing about the Lindbergh flight across the Atlantic. Yet, here he was working at Otterbein after retirement because he needed the money as a supplement to social security and military. That's how I remember it. Anyway, he convinced me that for lifetime security I was better off teaching English than writing for a newspaper. This was in 1961. That then became my lifetime design and intent: to become a teacher of English. That is what I did. In the late 1970's I began writing science fiction novels for fun and because my audience was secondary to what was needed for writing as a professional novelist I gave up the idea after self-publishing. I never stopped my teaching career. Basically, for my own comfort and economic protection, I taught for 37 years with no regrets since. (1536)

       You are home relaxing after a stop at Kroger's for off the shelve medicine for knee joints and for fish oil. Carol suggested Papa John's pizza for supper so that's what you'll have a little later. She is reading her book presently and you are procrastinating the firing up of the new iMac for fear of screwing it up. - Amorella

       1731 hours. I would have never written that down myself I assure you. Little truths. I don't have the confidence with electronics like I used to. It started with 'iCloud'. I never can get it to work right so I avoid it. It is one thing to tackle my own computer, but this is Carol's first one in more than a decade. I don't want to screw it up because I'll pay hell for it if I do. 

       Don't be so figurative, Mr. Orndorff. Besides, this is much more about your pride on knowing things than listening to Carol being upset for a couple days. - mh    

       1740 hours. True to the fact. It is about pride. I used to know stuff. I remember in the 1980's when I had to fix Dad Hammond's VCR. I always felt good knowing how to fix it and cable TV problems. Now, when in doubt I have to ask Paul to fix the cable or some sort of electronic apparatus. He always helps cheerfully, but still, I should to be able to do these things myself. 

       You use me to help you write. - Amorella

       1748 hours. Of course, I do. You said you'd help me and you have. You are kind and I think of you as a spiritual friend. I would like to think that I don't need help from time to time but I know better. I am being childish and arrogant. I know better. Time for me to stop and relax for the rest of this evening. 

       Post. Amorella

184. Notes - intent / listening

184. 10 August 2019

       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        

       Post. - Amorella

       1735 hours. Intent is a curious word.

       1747 hours. My question is: How does a human being always know/comprehend her or his full intent on doing (action, saying, writing,) anything of her or his own free will?

       You are at Kroger's before heading home. Later, young man. - Amorella

       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

       2256 hours. I listen for any spiritual-like help I might get. 

       This is 'intent' on your part, orndorff. - Amorella

       2300 hours. For this I am grateful. 

       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. 

183. Notes - too much imagination in soul exchange

183. 9 August 2019

       Mid-afternoon. You just finished takeout McD's Egg McMuffins and small fries at Heritage Park, facing west opposite the shelter house. Carol is on page 116 of The House of Secrets by Brad Meltzer. A very relaxing day with low humidity, eighty degrees and sunny. This morning you worked on ridding the quite heavy box of its computer desk contents piece by piece because you couldn't lift it out of the trunk. Carol mowed the front and sides of grass, you still have to trim. She has the back to mow this evening. Such is a sample of your daily week. - Amorella

       1532 hours. I really like the thick rain forest-like atmosphere of tree trunks and green in front of the car and through the outside glance in the rearview mirror. I know the Natives lived in this area less than a hundred and fifty years ago from the stories Popo Orndorff told me in my youth. He personally knew a few of them. He also met Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley and some famous baseball players of his day. I saw the autographs. Some players were of the National Negro League. What I gleaned from these experiences in my youth is that when I shook Popo's hand and touched the photographs I empathetically via imagination touch the writers and all the people Popo Orndorff had shaken hands with. The same with Grandma Orndorff and Uncle Ernie and Aunt Patsy and Grandma and Popo Schick. I don't know if there is a name for this beyond imagination, but to me it has always had reality to it. All my life I have gathered a symbiotic relationship with the people and places of the world. This is a continuous feeling throughout my living. The 'necessity' to absorb all the life and experience I can, mostly if not all imagination, I know, but I enrich myself by it. (1548)

       This embarrasses you to be so honestly frank. You would never speak of this to anyone, but it is 'inside', a part of who you are. It is certainly you since the age of three. Were I an Angel, I'd vouch for you. - Amorella

       1552 hours. I don't know if Angels really exist, Amorella. Some things, even spiritual matter can't be verified by human beings. 

       How did I know this sort of attitude would pop up out of nowhere; and through the mention of an Angel no less. - Amorella

       1557 hours. I sense the contradiction with yesterday's blog. I can do nothing but than accept my humanity and further, accept the humility that goes with begin humane. It is our divided nature, spiritual and material. One cannot battle two obvious truths. I am attached, heartansoulanmind. I will argue my divided nature no more in this lifetime. It is foolish to deny what one is. What every human being is -- spiritual and physical both at once. (1604)

       Mr. Orndorff, most secretly, have you ever felt you have 'touched' your raw, once empty soul, me, Ms Havisham?

       1608 hours. I have not had such a blunt and forthright metaphysical question in my entire life, Ms Havisham. -- I find this 'touched' concept in context, possible but not plausible.

       Why would you find the concept even possible, Mr. Orndorff? - mh

       After supper, hamburger, baked beans and veggies, you finished the trimming the grass for the night because the battery discharged and you are recharging it overnight. You will complete the work in the morning. Carol did finish her part of the mowing tonight. - Amorella

       2143 hours. In order to answer your question Ms Havisham I have spent couple hours reviewing "transmigration of the soul" and "metempsychosis" (which are generally accepted as synonyms) because I thought "metempsychosis" would have given me a possible way to have touched your "raw once empty soul" as my spiritual heartanmind entered your raw once empty soul. 

       You are having a difficult time explaining yourself here. - Amorella

       2216 hours. I have too much imagination, Amorella, it's as simple as that. I would just as soon let this go now. - 'Entanglement' just flashed to mind. Perhaps it is possible that the soul could become 'entangled' with another soul in some sort of quantum-like metaphysical entanglement, i.e. being in two souls at the same time and being in one soul or another. 

       What you wonder is this: "Possibly, I could have had one soul in 1984 and another soul in 1985. If this is so, then it might have been possible for me to have 'touched' Ms Havisham's raw once empty soul as I left my previous soul and entered my new soul, Ms Havisham." - Amorella

       2230 hours. Yes. Amazing. I obviously had the words but not the clarity to use them properly. Thank you, Amorella. To clarify somewhere in the Encounters in Mind blog I wrote of such a mystical experience happening to me. It was the same time I was encountering the ghostly remains of a sailor who drown during World War II. The ghost had been in the next-door neighbor's house, it was a relative of his who had died in such a way. The neighbor explained that they had had a priest recently come to exorcise the house to rid them of this man's spirit who was troubling them. Who knows? I thought this might be what had happened and that for some reason this troubled spirit came next door to our house. We had both been hearing weird noises at night for about a week. I thought they were caused by the nearby Voice of American Bethany Station which was less than half a mile from our house. Sometimes we could hear the VOA station Portuguese language broadcasts late at night through the wood corner frames of the house nearest to the station (caused by very strong ground transmission waves). Ironically, it was the same VOA station we picked up and listened to when in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Anyway, it wasn't the VOA. I don't remember my exact written account of the poor suffering spirit. It was all rather untoward and frightening to me personally. I would have to try to find it. The soul exchange flash vision was the same night. (2255)

       

       Try VOA as a key word. - Amorella

       2301 hours. I can't locate it presently. I need to think of another keyword. 2314 hours. I searched with other keywords such as 'ghost' and 'Majken Place'. Nothing yet. 

       Post. - Amorella

182. - Notes - it is obvious

182. 8 August 2019

       Early evening. You and Carol had a good lunch at Old Bag of Nails at North State and Main with Aunt Ruthie, Tony, Marilyn, Cathy, Tod, Gretchen and Jerry. Tony paid the bill, very kind of him and Aunt Ruthie. She called it your 'birthday dinner'. You stopped at Cathy and Tod's for a bit after, then good-byes and home to feed the cats before traveling to Kim and Paul's to take them to a friend's house about four miles south on Rt. 315. You just returned from supper with the boys at Potbelly's. They are playing at the neighbors until seven-thirty then coming home to ready for bed at eight because they and their friends had a sleepover last night. Later, when Kim calls you pick them up and bring them home, of course. - Amorella

       1854 hours. It has been a busy and fun day. We did not have these kinds of weekly family activities while living in Mason. 

       One of the subdivisions in the Wikipedia article on "Consciousness" that I have chosen to comment on is on "Animal Consciousness". 

** **

Animal consciousness

The topic of animal consciousness is beset by a number of difficulties. It poses the problem of other minds in an especially severe form, because non-human animals, lacking the ability to express human language, cannot tell us about their experiences. . ..

Most people have a strong intuition that some animals, such as cats and dogs, are conscious, while others, such as insects, are not; but the sources of this intuition are not obvious, and are often based on personal interactions with pets and other animals they have observed. 

Philosophers who consider subjective experience the essence of consciousness also generally believe, as a correlate, that the existence and nature of animal consciousness can never rigorously be known.  . . .

On July 7, 2012, eminent scientists from different branches of neuroscience gathered at the University of Cambridge to celebrate the Francis Crick Memorial Conference, which deals with consciousness in humans and pre-linguistic consciousness in nonhuman animals. After the conference, they signed in the presence of Stephen Hawking, the 'Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness', which summarizes the most important findings of the survey:

"We decided to reach a consensus and make a statement directed to the public that is not scientific. It's obvious to everyone in this room that animals have consciousness, but it is not obvious to the rest of the world. It is not obvious to the rest of the Western world or the Far East. It is not obvious to the society." 

"Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals [...], including all mammals and birds, and other creatures, [...] have the necessary neural substrates of consciousness and the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors."

 . . .

       First, I particularly like the way the 'Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness' stated the following:

""We decided to reach a consensus and make a statement directed to the public that is not scientific. It's obvious to everyone in this room that animals have consciousness, but it is not obvious to the rest of the world." 

This is how I feel this blog should be noted. This blog is not scientific. It is obvious to many people though that human beings are unique in the world terms of higher consciousness. I consider myself a human soul, though for understandable reasons, personified to communicate through Amorella the human spiritual heartanmind. I am nonfiction within myself. Mr. Orndorff is nonfiction to all those who know him. He writes in the introduction to this blog that it is nonfiction because that is how he views this experimental writing. I ask the reader to remember this blog represents one human's heartansoulanmind point of view. Nothing more, nothing less. Mr. Orndorff has always enjoyed stimulating thought, this is his main objective. - mh

       1932 hours. Thank you for reinforcing my private thoughts Ms Havisham. I am comforted with your unsolicited words. It is amazing to me that I use the word 'comforted' here, because it is not of my normal choice, but in this case, I cannot come up with a better one. I accept Ms Havisham as my personified soul because this is how I see her. I accept Amorella as a friend, a spiritual presence. 

At the same time, I consider myself as an authentic agnostic because deep down I question everything. The difference is that I do accept that G-D is a Reality because being naturally spiritually minded it is more than intellectually reasonable to me, it is obvious. I do not need faith for this, I have heartanmind. I have a soul to comfort my heartanmind. I have a spiritual friend who guides me to know myself better, who has guided me for decades and the self-evident truth is witnessed in seemingly endless notes and blogs. Still, I am ever an agnostic because I am ever human. - rho

       Thus, orndorff, here you sit, but you would rise and stand if need be. I am here, within and without, as your witness. Post. - Amorella

181. Notes - selected memories / reality?

181. 7 August 2019

       

       Noon. Carol is out pulling weeds. You have readied yourself to go out to lunch (Carol's suggestion). You feel very good with the response to your birthday; you are really quite surprised at the number of 'Likes' and 'Comments'. - Amorella

       1204 hours. All those former student names and old college friends and teaching colleagues -- from back in the early seventies at Escola Graduada de Sao Paulo in Brazil; from Indian Hill High School in Cincinnati; and from William Mason High School in Mason. I retired in 2003 and taught from November, 1966 at Magnetic Springs Junior High, then at Whitehall-Yearling High School in Whitehall, an eastern suburb of Columbus before we moved to Sao Paulo after a year for my Masters at Bowling Green State University. I am trying to decide whether that was a long time ago, or not so long ago at all. (1216)

       With that, a quick flashback to three, and your statement, "I want a cookie," at Grandma and Popo Schick's in 1945 and your first historical recollection - a wake for the death of President Roosevelt. And, from there to age five, shaking hands with an old man, Mr. Press Reynolds, who had been born a slave on a plantation in the South. He lived three houses west of 103 West Walnut, home of Grandma and Popo Orndorff in Westerville. - mh

       A quick flash of your life is not going to happen here, orndorff, though you would 'enjoy' the experience. - Amorella

       1237 hours. It was just a thought, Amorella. I'm glad you quote marked 'enjoy'. Life has its positive and negative memories. Some I would just as soon not remember. But then, that would not be reality would it?

       No, it would not. Post. - Amorella

       Carol is reading in bed with Jadah by her side. Spooky is out in the sun room sleeping. It was a relatively busy day. You did buy Carol and small desk with a dropped keyboard and three enclosed drawers for her new iMac, and you decided to put it in the sunroom and leave the printer in the study. So, there will be no clutter. Tomorrow you have lunch at Old Bag of Nails at State and Main with Aunt Ruthie, Tony, Marilyn, Cathy and Tod, and Gretchen and Jerry. Mid-afternoon, you boy sit and Uber drive Kim and Paul to a second wine tasting session for a friend's new restaurant opening in the Fall. - Amorella

       2254 hours. Back to "reality" in the previous paragraphs. Here is a brief description of reality from Wikipedia:

** **

Reality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent, as opposed to that which is merely imaginary. The term is also used to refer to the ontological status of things, indicating their existence. In physical terms, reality is the totality of the universe, known and unknown. Philosophical questions about the nature of reality or existence or being are considered under the rubric of ontology, which is a major branch of metaphysics in the Western philosophical tradition. Ontological questions also feature in diverse branches of philosophy, including the philosophy of science, philosophy of religion, philosophy of mathematics, and philosophical logic. These include questions about whether only physical objects are real (i.e., Physicalism), whether reality is fundamentally immaterial (e.g., Idealism), whether hypothetical unobservable entities posited by scientific theories exist, whether God exists, whether numbers and other abstract objects exist, and whether possible worlds exist.

Amorella, what is 'reality' from your perspective'?

       Reality in its general sense is real life, i.e. consciously living in the real world. I am not alive. - Amorella

       2303 hours. Ms Havisham, what is 'reality' from your perspective?

       As a soul I am conscious of the human spiritual heartanmind I comfort and protect as I am immortal and human spiritual heartsanminds are not immortal. I am indifferent to imagination because it is not spiritual. I understand what it is to be human because I am a part of this process even though when alone and empty I am not human at all. Examples: I am neutral to physics and the known and unknown universe. I am immortal. I understand human beings are not immortal. My understanding relates to the comfort and protection of her or his spiritual heartanmind only. The spiritual heart and mind have to work out what reality is to each part and to the two parts as a whole. The living spiritual reality is not the same as the non-physical spiritual reality. Living consciousness is not consciousness after living just as consciousness at 77 is not consciousness at 5. One has a spiritual memory but it focuses in a present tense of Being. Being human demands a sense of space and time. The sense still exists when physically dead but it is relative to what is not what was. Without this sense one could not grow and mature within the framework of the humanity of the heartansoulanmind, the individual human spirit. - mh

       All for tonight, orndorff. Post. - Amorella

180. Notes - wholesomely equal exchange

180. 6 August 2019

       After noon. You received a few birthday wishes on Facebook today, plus a unique and very funny card from Carol and Aunt Ruthie called and sang "Happy Birthday" to you. - Amorella

       1221 hours. It was fun and made me smile to see all the well-wishes. I told them "Thank you" and that I was setting my sights on 80 since being 77 is not too bad at all. :-)

       Eighty sounds like a good year, trust you'll be up to it. - Amorella

       I agree with Amorella, Mr. Orndorff. - mh

       1227 hours. We'll see. What will be, will be.

       Mid-afternoon. Carol and Jadah are napping on the bed. The alarm is set for four as you have to be over at Kim and Paul's by four-thirty to go to Dublin for your birthday dinner. - Amorella

       

       Everyone ate well at the Cap Diner along the Scioto River in Dublin. Carol, Kim, Paul, Owen, Brennan and the boys' friend Louie enjoyed their sandwiches, sides, drinks and shared desserts. You also, of course. - Amorella

       2147 hours. We had a good time, especially me because I could see and feel everyone else having a good time dining out at a new restaurant of choice. 

       It is the shared atmosphere as well as the shared table, Mr. Orndorff. Desserts were shared also. Here is something to think on. The Dead can only share themselves because they have nothing else. Do you see the richness in this? A soul's feast is in the sharing of spiritual heartsanminds sharing while living and existing in spirit alone. While sharing nothing is lost by any and something is gained by all. Spiritual economics of a sort. What do you think on this, Mr. Orndorff? - mh

       2158 hours. It appears quite a wholesomely equal exchange.
