[...] But like Normandy, it must apply to a number of people and topics.)

[...] Seth’s answer to my question was more than a little surprising and saddening to us, and opened up a number of insights:

[...] I took his address and phone number, just in case. [...]

[...] There are pyramid gestalts of being impossible to describe, whose awareness includes knowledge and experience of what would seem to be to you a vast number of other realities. [...]

[...] There were an infinite number of ideas behind all of those decisions. [...]

A good number of nuns were of course carrying the seed of those priests, and bearing children who acted as servants in monasteries, sometimes, as well as in convents. [...]

[...] Jane gave him our unlisted phone number. [...]

[...] We thought the television adaptation contained many fine things, though—a number of excellent individual performances, although the story line was hard to follow over four episodes. [...]

[...] The decorations are of gold color rather than silver, and the numbers are comparatively small, rather than large.

[...] The numbers three seven, and diagonal marks on the four corners of a rectangular piece of paper, connected perhaps with a photograph album.

[...] Learning experiences can show themselves in a vast number of ways, then, and independently of sequential time, too; and if Jane and I don’t like certain aspects of the realities we’ve created, we can try to change them, together and separately.

[...] (That session is presented in the essay for April 16.) Any decision Jane makes about altering the deeply set beliefs involved in her condition will require the cooperation of a number of portions of her psyche, including her sinful self, and it appears that at this time neither of us is ready to try achieving that kind of overall effect.

(Bill Gallagher pointed out that my name and date on the drawing, besides being a “sign,” also contained a combination of 10 letters and numbers, as “something 10 times.” [...]

We can travel freely through varying numbers of such realities. [...]

[...] Seth’s reference to the poor and nationalized health care referred to material Jane had picked up from him during the day; The poor were actually better off as they are now, without such a national health-care plan, for as it is they’re isolated from and immune to a number of ills they would start falling prey to if they could afford to pay for such treatment—that is, if the costs were paid for them. [...]

Peter and Polly would be on the road, it seemed, unreachable by phone, though they had included the number of their answering service, and had also written that they would call before leaving—yet no such call had been received.

[...] This morning, for example, Jane slept until noon, and after I got up at 6:30 she had a number of recurrences of her “panic attacks.” [...]

[...] That portion of the personality operated with its own good intent, and for some number of years other portions of the personality went along. [...]

[...] She’s been very rigorous in answering the mail for a number of years, and my thought at the moment at least is that it—the mail—might be more of a time bomb than we realized in that respect.
