CHAPTER FIVE

About an hour later, Seth, Emily, and I stood on the stony shore of a little lake about a mile north of the cabin settlement.

Seth, clad in swim trunks, looked out onto the lake, frowning. "Tell me again how drowning myself at the bottom of the lake is supposed to help me hear Victor's thoughts better?"

I rolled my eyes. "You don't need to 'drown' yourself. You just need to go underneath the water deep enough so that everything is quiet. And then when you feel like breathing, whether that's after one second or one minute, you come up and breathe. For however long you want. And then go back down. And repeat, repeat, repeat. Up to a hundred times if you want. It's a form of meditation. And trust me, it works. A couple of years ago, I had 'painter's block' so bad I didn't paint for two months. No clue why. And it didn't even matter why. I just couldn't. I'd try so, so, hard. I'd stand in front of a blank canvas practically all day. Just wracking my brain trying to think of what to paint. Where to put the first stroke. What combinations of colors to use. But I was still paralyzed. I nearly drove myself nuts. And then one of my artist friends told me about this. She said I should try water meditation. Said if I completely and totally freed my mind of any and all thoughts relating to painting, then I could 'hear' the little voice in my mind telling me what I needed to paint again. And it would seem effortless and easy to hear the little voice and be certain about it. So I asked a different friend who lived in the suburbs if I could use her pool for a week. But it didn't even take that long. One session. And I could hear my little 'painter's voice' again. The next day, I did two paintings. So I know it works. And I think it could work for you with 'hearing' Victor's voice. And it may seem like apples and oranges compared to what I was struggling with, but I think our struggles are essentially the same. You're trying too hard. You need to completely let go and clear your mind. Victor may be weakened, but you're not. I think if you can just stop trying so hard, you'll just naturally be able to hear his thoughts better, no matter what his own condition is. So. Will you give it a try?"

Seth looked from me to the glassy surface of the lake, and then back to me. "I'll give it a try. But I'm not nuts about water, so if it doesn't work after one session, I can't promise I'll do it again."

I nodded. "Fair enough."

Emily clapped Seth on the back. "Go to it, Sethie. I think Kyla could really be onto something."

"Okay, guys. But don't stand around watching me the whole time. I'll meet you back at the cabins."

And with that, Seth waded into the water and soon dove underneath the surface.
