“I was hanging out with a buffalo, so let’s go to Henry’s and get a dozen 15 cent burgers, because I’m hungry too.”“WHAT?” Mattie asked....��I met a friend of mine from Y-Camp canoe trips. His dad was Native American. His spirit is buffalo. That’s why we feel hungry. We smell herd animal and our stomachs react. He’s a good guy and he is going to see if he can convince one of the elders to teach me what we need to know about the spirits inside us,” I said.“My mom told me you were going to take care. IT WORKED! When my friend went to his class and I sat in her office with the door closed. Her office was small with only her desk and about 3 chairs inside.

So I asked her, "Do you do yoga?" No I don't haha," she answered,"Then why are you wearing it?" "It's comfortable. Girls wear it to school so I decided to do the. I kissed her and held her tight to me and told her that she was safe with me and could tell me anything, that we all had a past and we had to accept that in order to move forward together. She just looked at me and her eyes began to get watery. I wiped her eyes and told her that she was safe again and didn't need to cry. She took a deep breath and turned back to the water and just sat there for a moment in silence. She told me about her teenage years and knowing that she was gay and felt more. That wasn't good. The ten year old maneuvered herself against the side of the bakery, hopping until her back was against the brick wall. It made sense, she thought, that the bakery with its ovens was one of the few stone buildings. Any fire would just turn it onto one big oven instead of burning the whole town down. Not that it still wouldn't be a disaster...She shook her head. It seemed her mind of late was always thinking of how things could go wrong. Of what new disaster could visit her or.
