Toe the Party Line – share the booty

Cross the Party Line – get stubbed

One day, a few days after the liberation, I walked through the country past flowering meadows, for miles and miles, toward the market town near the camp. Larks rose to the sky and I could hear their joyous song. There was no one to be seen for miles around; there was nothing but the wide earth and sky and the larks’ jubilation and the freedom of space.

I stopped, looked around, and up to the sky—and then I went down on my knees. At that moment there was very little I knew of myself or of the world—I had but one sentence in mind—always the same: “I called to the Lord from my narrow prison and He answered me in the freedom of space.”

    Evocative – bringing strong images, memories, or feelings to mind.

    Yes, I remember one of the first times getting stoned, dropping to my knees in the communal kitchen, and loudly proclaiming, “This is it! This is it!” I assume my college housemates were in the same state of mind. It was good stuff.
