He reached across the table and put his hand on the front of her head and whispered, "Teach your heart to fly."
She had gotten up to leave but Vee said, "Wait." She sat back down. He fished around in the large compartment of the backpack and pulled out a small cassette player that he placed on the table. He fished around some more and pulled out 4 or 5 cassette tapes. He kept one out and threw the others back in the backpack. He opened the cassette case and passed the empty case to her. It was John Lennon's 'Imagine'. Vee searched for a song on the tape. That was the first time that she had heard 'Crippled Inside'.
Maria spent the night in a cabin with her mother and father. She told them of her conversation with Vee. She thought that there was some kind of significance in the coincidence of Guru Vee having both the winged heart and a tape with a song that was related to the nature of their conversation.
The following morning people gathered at scattered picnic tables that were loaded with fruit. Vee came to sit at the table where Maria and her parents were sitting. Her parents and Vee talked about old times and what they had been doing for the last 10 years. Vee looked at Maria and said, "Raising a flower."
Maria's father told Vee of Maria's wondering about the coincidence of his having the winged heart and a tape with a song that related to what she had talked to him about.
Vee reached for his backpack beside the table. He unzipped a small compartment and placed 7 or 8 winged hearts on the palm of his hand. Then he went into another compartment and pulled out 6 or 7 cassette tapes. They were all Beatles and Lennon.
"I'm listening to Lennon a lot recently," said Vee. "My friend Gabe has been discussing his lyrics with me."
