To journey is to travel from one place to another, or perhaps it’s a spiritual journey through your mind. It relates to journals in which we keep a diary of our days proceedings. A Jour is relating to objects that are pierced, perforated or decorated with an openwork pattern. The origin of A Jour is to be open to daylight. A Journal bearing relates to the sliding surface between the rotating shaft and a hole it passes through and supports relative to some other component, a mechanical shaft.
A record player is like a journal for the music it plays….. it has a rotating shaft and the record has a hole to pass through it whilsts it supports its circular movement. A record is drawn up for the time of your birth but you can adapt and change the music as you go along. Scratching would be one example….raising or lowering the tone of the music by half a note is also another option as we have found through DNA music patterns. Do we journey literally when we play a record….if I asked you to sing a song now and remember the words it's likely you would say I don’t know it but when I play the record you can sing along to it instantly. People with dementia have no trouble singing along to music they knew long ago.
So to journey is to travel from one place to another is it like time travel you hear a song you used to play fifty years ago and instantly you are transported to that romance and you remember the person you loved as though it were yesterday. A diary is also a journal and when you go back to read your old ones you are once again time travelling. A Jour is like a religious embroidery or work of art pierced, perforated fabrics of life showing an openwork pattern that tells a story.
FInally the origin of A jour is to be open to daylight……. a Jour or a Day starts with the return of the light from darkness and it continues to increase until once more it turns back to darkness at the end of The Jour or Day. A Journal or a Jour could be said to be a doorway to another world we had forgotten or have yet to see......
Make all your journeys matter and enjoy every Jour as it comes and make it into something special.
