“remember how we used to play"
in the upper atmosphere
in the vertical climb
in the sky above the clouds
remember how we used to play
in the nautical dusk
along the radians of midheaven…
out there
amid the scattered wavelengths
within the aerosols of a meteorological meadow
we tread upon the aether
side by side
the ampere and the joule
the whisper and the gleam
borne along effervescent freeways
remember how we came to rest
inside the amethyst auditorium
of a storm
there -
suspended in an echo-plex of thunder
you drew me close
and I tasted
the voltage of your skin
the radiometry of your eyes
the amphetamine of your lips
the flushed cushion of your tongue”

“Remember how you played in these orchards as young girls?" Willo asked Deana and Sam.
Deana turned to look at Sam, and the two smiled. "We do," they said at the same time.
These orchards had been their playground as girls.
Sam slowed even more and studied the orchards carefully.
I ran, played hide-and-seek, caught fireflies, scaled trees, picked apples and peaches straight off the tree, launched pits from slingshots, and danced in the sprinkles here. Sam thought. Moreover, I learned about plants and science: I understood the seasons, when to plant trees and seeds, how to nurture them and protect them from insects, what to feed the deer in winter and the hummingbirds in summer.
Sam again thought of her grandpa.
If we're good to Mother Nature, she will be good to us, he always used to tell her. Same goes for people.”

Yeah,” he said. “You’re very generous. I think that’s cool.”

That’s when it dawned on me what Greg had meant. [...] Um, that’s charity, Greg, not chastity.

“Remember, if a teaching is not threatening to the ego, the armored archetype within us, then it’s not doing its job. So if people are fixated on chastity, a display of licentiousness will be useful. If someone thinks licentiousness is the path, then emphasize chastity. Sobriety, drunkenness. Logical thought, crazy thought.”
