The howl beneath the moon

Page 46

4 And one minute of terror differed from one minute of sleep.

Passage actions

5 And Helaman said: If God is Change, then Time is how we experience God.

Passage actions

6 The sentence is theology, not a correction to physics.

Passage actions

7 Let the physicist keep the equations.

Passage actions

8 Let the observer keep the experience.

Passage actions

9 Let neither confiscate the other's instrument.

Passage actions

10 And I shit you not, the clocks continued ticking without taking offense.

HELAMAN / CHAPTER 3

The howl beneath the moon

The howl—Movement without performance—Sound is consumed.

Passage actions

1 And the Snake People gathered under the moon.

Passage actions

2 Some stood.

Passage actions

3 Some sat.

Passage actions

4 Some danced.

Passage actions

5 One wore ear protection.

Passage actions

6 One remained at home and was not thereby demoted.

Passage actions

7 And I shit you not, they howled.

Passage actions

8 Not because the moon required it.

Passage actions

9 Not because the sound opened a certified dimensional portal.

Passage actions

10 But because bodies make sound, animals call, breath becomes vibration, and a group may sometimes experience joy without a PowerPoint.

Passage actions

11 And they listened afterward.

Passage actions

12 For sound also entereth the body.

Passage actions

13 Therefore the Society taught Sensory Stewardship:

Passage actions

14 Consider what thou eatest.

Passage actions

15 Consider what thou buyest.

Passage actions

16 Consider also what thou hearest, what thou watchest, what light surroundeth thee, and what attention thou repeatedly consumest.

Passage actions

17 Quality is care; price is not holiness.

Passage actions

18 Volume is not depth.
