“and I remember Henry Crow Dog, Leonard's father. He was already an old man then and he comes over to a bunch of feds very quiet you know, and draws a circle in the dust in front of them and then draws a line right through the middle, 'This is you with your guns over on this side,' he tells them, 'and this is us over here with our sacred pipe' and then he's quiet some more while they just stare at him. 'The circle is turning,' he says after awhile and walks away. And all their mouths are just hanging open.”

Say living here is like bipolar II, The one with fewer ups and more downs-- long, flat, featureless stretches you just have to get through. But reprieves, the small resurrections, when they come, are so unexpected, so good. This was the place we were leaving. And would keep coming back to.”
