Major Arcana 19-21. Phil explores the boundary between a cough and a sneeze and Ben makes a mysterious wet sound. Other topics include Polyvagal theory, musical performance as mortification ritual, and lemonade enjoyed on porches.
Brothers, behold, my brothers,
They meet, two star-bound spirits in the sky encountering.
In silence they gaze the one upon the other.
He sings no more,
And yet his sunburnt throat throbs with the song;
And in her limbs the happy dance is stayed
But not asleep.
~Kahlil Gibran, The Earth Gods
