“When I was 6, my parents took me to India - where they are from. A little girl my age came up to me on the street. She asked for my backpack — I gave it to her. She barely had anything on. She asked for my head scarf. I gave that to her, too. Slowly, I gave her everything I had, without becoming naked. When I returned to my mother, she was angry. We didn’t have much, either. She told me the little girl belonged to a bad man, who would take it all, anyway. But I knew what I was doing: bargaining in good faith with the universe.”
