I keep thinking about the girls I worked with. About what it cost them to tell the truth.
That’s the lens I’m reading the Epstein releases through — the redactions, the delays, the sealing.

When Ojibwe harvest wild rice, they sing to it.
Gratitude before taking.
The rice grows better next year.
Science can't explain it.
The elders can.
Everything you take without gratitude eventually becomes poison.
Everything you bless multiplies.
Ancient physics.
