    ... eyes caused her to flush outward into the space around her. As she approached him, his eyes glowed while he looked intently at her, and she felt herself to expand even more. Matt was standing as she walked toward him and the richness of the warmth she radiated extended ever richer and further enveloping him. He lifted her as if she weighed nothing and retraced the steps she had taken from her bedroom. He was entirely caught up in the aura she radiated and it loosed him from anything that responded to gravity. They began to experience an intimacy for which their bodies provided no barrier. They had not a secret from each other. She offered her own soul substance, and he breathed it in. Matt was aware of his inner strength, but in a most unusual way.

It was at the same time, both soft and gentle, but not in a nurturing way, rather like the sweet smile of a benevolent giant. They drew incredible comfort and shared in the strength that was radiated into them. As this sound emerged from the depths of silence, it gained clarity. It was complex, deep and haunting like an E Sharp Major. It flowed wonderfully in the space that sustained them; its power swelled and rolled throughout. The intense awe and wonder that dominated their inwardness began to expand as if it were to detach itself, until this wonder distilled into the forms of sounding spirits that were lifting and supporting them.
