"It has to do with keeping things in balance.
It's like the spirits have made a deal with us. We're on our own.
The spirits have been good enough to let us live here and use the utilities, and we're saying:
We know how nice you're being.
We appreciate the rain, we appreciate the sun, we appreciate the deer we took.
Sorry if we messed up anything.
You've gone to a lot of trouble, and we'll try to be good guests."
You've gone to a lot of trouble, and we'll try to be good guests."
-Barbara Kingsolver
