"YOUR LIFE FEELS DIFFERENT ON YOU, once you greet death and understand your heart's position. You wear your life like a garment from the mission bundle sale ever after - lightly because you realize you never paid nothing for it, cherishing because you know you won't ever come by such a bargain again." - Louise Erdrich.
Erdrich is an author, poet, owner of a bookstore, and member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewas in North Dakota.
