Where do quick notes go?

One one with God, August 13, 2011: A conversation that starts off slowly. I'm reading a book called Conversations with Jesus. It is an excellent book by Thomas Merton. Merton is also the great poet of contemplative life and is probably the most popular author about living prayerfully. In this book he asks a simple question to which, over time, he receives a surprising and profound answer.

Here is his question: On what does everything hang? His words make the answer obvious. In Merton's words, we would say: God. We also might add a number of other words and phrases:

Love. Truth. Reality. Power. Hope. Trust. Faith. Wisdom. The list is almost endless. All that we do hangs on these words and phrases.

We have only one world and one love and it is good to remember it. This world is like a dream. We cannot take it to our hearts. We cannot carry it forever. It is not always bright and beautiful but mostly, mostly it sucks. It makes no sense. We must struggle through but it is all we have. It is all we have to live with. And yet we still look for more. For more love. For more truth.

It's really quite simple, isn't it? The world is about being in love with God. It doesn't matter how or why. It doesn't even matter if God exists. It is still a simple matter. Loving God. That is the one thing that is going to remain no matter how hard we try to forget about it.

And once we love and trust God, all of this seems worth living. And all of this will remain to make some sense.

This is why it is so good to ask this question. To ask this question means asking something that you never think to ask. You know there is something missing. Then, once you start looking, you see how much there is. That little bit of something, which may or may not be a new language or a different way of being, is enough. It is never what it seems to be.

Where are quick notes stored on iPhone?

On my device the quick notes for a phone call is always there even if I don't access them with my iPhone on me.

If I use another device - iPod, iPhone or Android it only seems to pull them from the cloud.

Is this intended behavior, and does it pose any problems? I'm thinking of things such as: If I put my device down somewhere (like it falling out of my hand) then use my device again, how will my quick notes know that I haven't used it at all (and it will have note) until I sync the entire history over to the cloud? Should I be able to delete this sort of stuff directly from the phone without syncing everything to the cloud first? If I'm listening to a message on the phone, and want to respond later on when I'm not connected to my phone, will I be able to find the message/call? Does it remember these messages/calls even after I'd disconnected from the phone and deleted the contents? In the future might it be necessary to upgrade to iCloud to get a fully functioning iPhone, and have my notes and quick notes backed up across multiple devices? From an app's perspective, the iPhone stores notes on a per-document basis. The documents on your iPhone, however, do not sync into the iCloud.
