"'Those who die young, they are cheated,' she said. 'Not cheated out of life, because life is a penance, but the young, they're cheated because they don't know it's coming. They don't have time to move closer, to return home. When you knwo you're going to die, you try to be near the bones of your own people. You don't even think you have bones when you're young, even when you break them, you don't believe you have them. but when you're old, they start reminding you they're there. they start turning to dust on you, even as you're walking her and there, going from palce to place. And this is when you crave to be near the bones of your own people."
