"What is this reading, which I must
learn," asked Adam, "and what is it
like?"

"It is something beyond gardening,"
answered Raphael, “and at times you
will find it a heavy task. But at its dest
it will be like listening through your eyes;
and you shall hear the flowers laugh, the
trees talk, and the stars sing."
