they were well chosen for that purpose.
The cycle came around to Tyber.
"I would like to tell Zanita that her "he paused, smiling boyishly "her shirt is
mis-buttoned."
Zanita's head snapped toward him, her eyes widening, before she looked down.
Sure enough, her third and fourth buttons were out of line.
"How did you do that, baby?"
Zanita closed her eyes in acute embarrassment. He knew very well how he had
buttoned her back up!
She started to release LaLeche's hand to fix it when he said, "Oh, no! Don't do
that you can't break the circle now. It's not important; you can fix it later.
Who knows? In a couple of hours, it may be of no importance to you whatsoever."
Tyber leaned forward and threw LaLeche a chilling glance. Fortunately, he missed
it.
Kim smiled seductively at Tyber. "Maybe we'll all take off our shirts, so we
don't have to worry about buttons."
"Great idea." John winked at her.
Zanita swallowed. Tyber had been right. These people were looking to release all
inhibitions. "Tyber?" Her voice squeaked in an aside to him.

He bent over her, as if he were affectionately nuzzling her nape. "Don't worry,
baby. They won't start getting frisky for a couple of hours yet. I'll have you
safely out of here by then," he whispered against her.
It wasn't long after that that Tyber went out to the truck, coming back with a
blanket. He scooted Zanita in front of him, between his thighs, and draped the
blanket around them. "It's getting chilly, and you did just get over that flu.
No sense taking any chances." Zanita thought he was incredibly sweet.
LaLeche took them through several more exercises involving deep breathing and
meditation techniques before he brought them back once again to the subject of
healing.
"We must align our energy fields. I'm sure our friend, Dr. Evans, agrees with
this, at least in principle."
Tyber surprised Zanita by saying, "I do. In principle, anyway." He adjusted his
arms around her under the blanket. Only Zanita's head poked through the top
opening, under his chin. She was feeling nice and toasty from his body heat.
"I have always believed there must be order within the body as there is in the
universe," LaLeche addressed the group at large, though his comments were
directed to Tyber, "in order for there to be a smooth and constant flow of
energy."
"Mmm, yes& but the universe is not as ordered as you might think."
"How so, Tyber? I always thought the universe is an increasingly structured
place," John said.
"You're forgetting about a little thing called entropy." He rested his chin on
top of Zanita's head.
"Entropy? What's that a new type of meditation?" Kim asked.
Zanita could feel Tyber smile against her hair. "No, Kim. Entropy is the

measurement, or as we physicists say, the property, of disorder. I'm afraid,
contrary to your beliefs, John, disorder is the natural order of things in the
universe."
Marcie scoffed. "I don't believe that!"
Tyber shrugged. "Second Law of Thermodynamics."
"Wait just a second isn't energy always, like, the same? I mean, you can't
create more energy, only change it from one form to another."
"You're talking about conservation of energy. Yes, energy is always conserved;
in other words, you can't get more out of a system than you put into it. Entropy
is something else. With entropy, you get more than you started with. We all know
there are many more ways to screw up something than to get it right. Disorder
continually increases, for there is so much more opportunity for disorder to
occur rather than order. Zanita is a perfect example of this principle."
She hunched her shoulders. "What?"
Everyone laughed.
Except Zanita, who pinched his thigh under the blanket. He captured her wayward
hand, clasping it by the wrist.
Tyber gazed down at Zanita affectionately. "Like going into the wrong class
instead of the right one. What's more, the process is not reversible. I'm afraid
the trip to disorder is, alas, a one-way, non-refundable ticket." Several people
chuckled, but Zanita fumed at him, squirming ineffectively under the blanket.
"But then energy is not conserved." Marcie gloated over the brilliance of her
statement.
"Yes, it is." Tyber valiantly subdued Zanita's thrashing as he continued,
"Usable energy is not. Feynman, a great physicist, liked to say that energy is
