Continuing on from my previous post, there is a benefit to compiling lists, such as with the one in my previous post (list of notable persons who passed away last month in July who have twin letters in their names). And because we are on the subject of Land, and notably “low lying land”, I recollect vaguely that one of the notable deaths in July, had the surname that is also the name of a country. Having an inkling, I perused the list, … and was able to quickly locate him:
Al Holland (August 16, 1952 – July 4, 2026) baseball player (San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees).
This is a definite twin heads upp!! My gut instinct was to google to see if Holland is low lying land, and this is what AI brings upp:
Yes, Holland (the historic region and part of the Netherlands) is a very low-lying land, with a large portion situated right at or below sea level. The name "Netherlands" itself literally translates to "low-lying country".
So off to the Holland wikipedia page, the following stood out:
A popular but erroneous folk etymology holds that Holland is derived from hol land ('hollow land' in Dutch), purportedly inspired by the low-lying geography of the land
THIS is soo typical of the inner twin world. Even though it seems likely that the true origin of the name is not “hollow land”, it fits— as perfectly intended by the inner twin world’s design influence!! This next excerpt also caught my eye:
Holland is protected from the sea by a long line of coastal dunes. The highest point in Holland, about 55 metres (180 ft) above sea level, is in the Schoorlse Duinen ('Schoorl Dunes'). Most of the land area behind the dunes consists of polder landscape lying well below sea level. At present the lowest point in Holland is a polder near Rotterdam, which is about 7 m (23 ft)below sea level.
So as you can see, it’s obvious that the deciphering of the cryptic communication in regards to the previous post, is “wright” on track.
I wanted to also investigate the song, Put Your Hand in the Hand , further. One of the singers listed as having covered the song stood out:
Lynn Anderson (September 26, 1947 – July 30, 2015)
Given that the anniversary of her death is just 2 days ago… and July 30th has special significance given this recent notable person who recently passed away on that day:
- Donatille Mukabalisa (30 July 1960 – 30 July 2026) 66, senator, speaker, Chamber of Deputies.
On Lynn Anderson’s wiki page, the name of her husband caught my eye, given the “glen” (see previous post):
- Glenn Sutton (September 28, 1937 – April 17, 2007)
- Hubert Neal McGaughey Jr. (born 30 July, 1958) as Neal McCoy
- Merle Haggard (April 6, 1937 – April 6, 2016)
- Tammy Wynette (born Virginia Wynette Pugh; May 5, 1942 – April 6, 1998)
- Dean Martin (born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995)
- Karla Bonoff (born December 27, 1951)
- Barbara Ann Mandrell (born December 25, 1948)
- Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946)
- Martina Mariea McBride (née Schiff; born July 29, 1966)
- Donald Kenneth Sundquist (March 15, 1936 – August 27, 2023)
- Patricia Lynn Yearwood (born September 19, 1964)
- French and Latin: Means "blackbird", coming from the Old French word merle and Latin merula.
- Alternative Roots: Can also link to the Celtic name Muriel, meaning "shining sea", or serve as a short form of Merrill
Ghost forests are coastal woodlands filled with standing dead trees caused by saltwater intrusion, land sinking, and rising sea levels. They serve as visible markers of climate change, transforming former freshwater areas into salt marshes.
Further investigation led to another related trail, and article about “Doggerland”:
A “lost world” beneath the North Sea was once full of forests
Before it vanished underwater, Doggerland may have been a hidden Ice Age forest refuge teeming with life far earlier than anyone imagined.
