Thanks for reminding me Adrie.

Hmmm... the audience.  Hmmm... remember... hmmm... we remember what we once
knew.

A passage I remember comes to mind every time I drive down Sweetland Road,
because the way the trees overhang and the road curves and the light and
shadows play, it always makes me think of this passage in ZAMM, where Chris
finally gets to take in the view.

"I knew it," he said.  It comes back now as one of those little facts
tugging at the end of a line, saying it's not as small as I think it is.
It's been in his mind for a long time.  Years.  All the problems he's given
become more understandable.

"I knew it," he said.

We're related to each other in ways we never fully understand, maybe hardly
understand at all.  He was always the real reason for coming out of the
hospital. To have let him grow up alone would have  been really wrong.

"I knew it,"  he said.  It keeps tugging on the line, saying, my big problem
may not be as big as I think it is, because the answer is right in front of
me.

For God's sake relieve him of his burden!

Be one person again!

Rich air and strange perfumes from the flowers of the trees and shrubs
enshroud us.
Inland now the chill is gone and the heat is upon us again.

Do you remember Adrie?  What did Chris know that nobody else did?
