Additional quotes by Joy Harjo

When Sun leaves at dusk, it makes a doorway. We have access to ancestors, to eternity. Breathe out. Ask for forgiveness. Let all hurts and failures go. Let them go.

Because who would believe
the fantastic and terrible story of all of our survival
those who were never meant
to survive?

I can't do anything
but talk to the wind,
to the moon
but cry out goddamn goddamn
to stones
and to other deathless voices
that I hope will carry
us all through.

My innate impulse is healing, which is also standing up for justice, which can heal hearts and nations. - Joy Harjo
