More From Louise Erdrich

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.

If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another. if you wish to know that you are safe, cause another to know that they are safe. if you wish to better understand seemingly incomprehensible things, help another to better understand. if you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another.

I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul the former love has never gone away, but let it not recall to you my dole; i wish not sadden you in any way. i loved you silently, without hope, fully, in diffidence, in jealousy, in pain; i loved you so tenderly and truly, as let you else be loved by any man.

You can be an artist without visual images, a reader without eyes, a mass of erudition with a bad elementary memory. in almost any subject your passion for the subject will save you. if you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. if you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!

I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea and at last wake up in naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that i fled from.
