"Would you like more tea?" I heard the voice alright, I even answered, "Yes." Spring and I were in the kitchen. We'd just finished recording. But I was miles underground. I was standing kinda d a z e d l y looking around; walking one way, then another. Strangely, happily buried. "Wow, we went deep," Spring said with a little laugh. That's it! I thought. "Yes!" I said.
