How do I describe it? It is like listening to very loud music with headphones. Only the music seems to be coming from inside the brain. It is actually a very neat sensation. "It is just there," I say to Dr. Malone. Then an image comes to my mind. "It is a big watermelon."
"Excuse me?" One of the reasons I like working with Dr. Malone is that his facial expressions are so clear and easy to understand. That one he just made, for example, is a textbook example of "baffled."
I expand on the image that came to me. It is the first time I have made this connection so I am not sure exactly where it will lead me. "When the internal music is there, Marcelo is one of the seeds. The music is the rest of the watermelon."
Dr. Malone frowns. Actually, it is a half-frown, half-smile, like he is trying to remain serious. "Do you know that you just put emphasis on exactly the right word right then? That's good. A year ago you couldn't do that."
-Francisco X. Stork, Marcelo in the Real World

sounds like a lovely book. The author has one hell of a name to carry around, though. ;-)
