"I'm not saying it is. But can't you even imagine what it must feel
' like to have a true home? I don't mean heaven. I mean a real earthly
home. Not some fortress you bought and built up and have to keep
everybody locked in or out. A real home. Not some place you went to
and invaded and slaughtered . people to get: Not some place you
claimed, snatched because you got the guns. Not some place you stole
from the people living there, but your own home, where if you go back
past your great-great-grandparents, past theirs, and theirs, past the
whole of Western history, past the beginning of organized knowledge,
past pyramids and poison bows, on back to when rain was new, before
plants forgot they could sing and birds thought they were fish, back
when God said Good! Good!-there, right there where you know your
own people were born and lived and died. Imagine that, Pat. That
place. Who was God talking to if not to my people living in my
home?''
"You preaching, Reverend."
"No, I'm talking to you, Pat. I'm talking to you."
