“We all reach for something… Sometimes what we long for is so out of reach that we get stuck or lost in our pursuit of it. The point is not to lose sight of what you already have because if you try too hard for things above you, you might lose sight of everything that’s important.”
Nick Medina, Sisters of the Lost Nation

“What am I supposed to do? Listen, Anna, we all try to get noticed. All the time. Everywhere. That’s lige. Especially for people like us. If the others, don’t notice us, we disappear.”
Nick Medina, Sisters of the Lost Nation

“She said Frog eximplified transformation. He entered life in one form and left it in another. From egg to tadpole, to tadpole with legs, to amphibian with tail, to tailless frog, he was never the same. He began life in water, only emerging once he was his true self. He symbolized change, rebirth, and renewal, and his spirit could bring rain.
Anna stared down at the ill-fated frog. The reservation was transforming…. And yet the very symbol of change had become a victim of it. The absurdity didn’t escape her.”
Nick Medina, Sisters of the Lost Nation
