“All I’m saying is that you’re asking them to treat you like a man. And I’m not sure either of you want that.”

“For the greater part of human history, and in places in the world today, common resources were the rule. But some invented a different story, a social construct in which everything is a commodity to be bought and sold. The market economy story has spread like wildfire, with uneven results for human well-being and devastation for the natural world. But it is just a story we have told ourselves and we are free to tell another, to reclaim the old one.”

“Yawe—the animate to be. I am, you are, s/he is. To speak of those possessed with life and spirit we must say yawe. By what linguistic confluence do Yahweh of the Old Testament and yawe of the New World both fall from the mouths of the reverent? Isn’t this just what it means, to be, to have the breath of life within, to be the offspring of Creation? The language reminds us, in every sentence, of our kinship with all of the animate world.”

“More and more in all of my work I find the rhythm and flow which came out of that time with the land and its creatures, which is now part of me. I’ve learned how to show up and pay attention in a new more authentic way which informs my daily life.”

“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.”
