All of the below is copyrighted material of Sherman Alexie, an Indian author, writer an director of the fantastic movie, Smoke Signals, which came out last year and which I highly recommend. He prefers being called an Indina because he believe Native American is a guilty white man's term.

Do not slow dance with your skeletons."

"There are things you should learn. Your past is a skeleton walking one step behind you. Your future is a skeleton walking one step in front of you. Maybe you don't wear a watch, but your skeletons do, and they always know what time it is. Now, these skeletons are made of memories, dreams, and voices. And they can trap you in between, between touching and becoming. But they're not necessarily evil, unless you let them be."

Thanks for keeping this up, PeterT.
