what if we all lived on the reservation. what if the whole country was one vast reservation. what if we stopped taking and started giving. that's what i thought this morning. i know i've lived selfish ways, and it's made me sad. i think a country on the take is a sad country. in the film last night, psychomagic, an old girl cries and says she's had a sad meaningless life and she doesn't care about the immigrants, she doesn't care about anyone and her pain is so intense it comes through the screen. don alejandro gets her to fill a bottle of water and says we're going out to give to someone, and they go to a 300 year old sycamore and says she's afraid of the roots but she pours the water onto them and don alejandro says now you are a part of this magnificent tree. and we don't see her after but i imagine even if she doesn't get back to the tree, she has trouble walking and she'll die soon, she'll see that tree and herself watering that tree.
