“There are two Gods,' she'd told me once, sotto voce in case our father heard her uttering such an impious thought. 'There is the God of inside — the God of churches, and prayer meetings and all that — and then there is the God of outside, the God that lives in the trees and in the dirt. And the insects, and the birds, and the things that eat them too.”
― Elliott Gish, Grey Dog: Library Edition
