"You're water. We're the millstone.You're wind. We're dust blown up into shapes.You're spirit. We're the opening and closing of our hands. You're the clarity.We're the language that tries to say it.You're joy. We're all the different kinds of laughing."
"Be melting snow.Wash yourself of yourself."
"There is a secret medicine given only to those who hurt so hard they can't hope.The hopers would feel slighted if they knew."
