“Nothing in nature exists as a metaphor, but human beings are reckless metaphor makers anyway, and only a fool could fail to find the lesson here. The cold roots of the sleeping trees along the streambed are even now taking in water. One day soon that water will rise and spring into the world in a rush of tight green leaves poised to unfurl. Everything that waits is also preparing itself to move.”

“Hot fury flared within Anna. “Why do we bother?” she said. “Why do we try to fit in when we can just take care of ourselves?” “It’s not about fitting in, it’s about finding balance. Rattlesnakes and field mice. Owls and rabbits. Alligators and deer. They’re predator and prey, yet they share the same ground. Mind you that the people in town aren’t predators and that we on the reservation aren’t prey. You’d think we’d be able to share the same ground. You’d think it’d be easy.”
