Right! So, Plato tells us we began as circles, and when we strived to be like the gods we were punished, by a thunderbolt that struck us, and cut us, right down, dead center, in half. We scattered to the ends of the Earth, searching and searching for our other half. Now, Plato is saying, that if we just stop, and go with the flow, and follow our destiny, It'll lead us back to each other.

Faith

You are here.

Yes, I am here, and very real. God! I'm trying to think — there's this poem by, um, Goethe? … yeah, Goethe, and its about two people come from different places, but they hear the same bird singing…

Rilke? [she nods] Oh well, same country... how'd you know?

Faith

I could tell you some things.

Faith

Okay. Still following this, read from your green book. Remember,
