It didn't occur to me at first but he is right,
water floats all around me, even inside me, inside others. The endless possibilities begin to unfold in my mind as
Oriah says to me, "Try to connect with the resonance of the water
molecules, feel their vibrations. " I look around at the invisible
atmosphere that surrounds me, trying to imagine the tiny droplets hanging in
air. I get a tingling sensation of their reverberation. I hear Oriah's voice in
my head again, "Now solidify their tune." I attempt to use my
harmonization with the vapor to coerce it to come together and out of nowhere,
a round frosty block of ice about the size of my head appears in front of us
and immediately plummets to the ground, bursting into a thousand pieces. Oriah
claps in approval, "Very impressive son, but tonight before you sleep;
locate the section in the text about different forms of Ice, and begin to commit
their proton structures to memory. Let's retire for the evening. You'll need
this time to study and get much needed rest." I stare at the chunks of ice
on the stone path and pick up the all-important physics book as Oriah and I
part ways for the night.
