Searching Buddha

I'm in a cabin out in the woods with my friend and her family, from her two kids to her father, who is pretty sick. We're sitting around having a big discussion on some intellectual topic or other, when I decide that I'm going to read to the kids, who are still very young. I pull out Slaughterhouse Five and start to read to them, which they love, but then I get distracted with a concept in the passage I've just read. I start going on about communist feminist theory and the kids wander away bored.

Suddenly I'm in a van with a bunch of people and we're driving around some urban landscape, which has people wandering around everywhere. It's night and it's dangerous, but I'm still going on about communist feminist theory....
