Additional quotes by Joy Harjo

I never got to wash my mother's body when she died.
I return to take care of her in memory.
That's how I make peace when things are left undone.

Gather strength, pull it in
Be right where you are.

Raw red cliffs that you
stumbled down into your own shadow
haven't kept you away, or soft
red lights and strange electrical
music that I play.

I release you, my beautiful and terrible fear. I release you. You were my beloved and hate twin, but now, I don't know you as myself - Joy Harjo
