Water is very important to us. To you too, I'm certain, though you may not think about it much. The cleansing and transforming waters of the rains, the deep flow of a living river, the immeasurable vastness of the ocean...

I know, traveler, that some of the sacrifices most difficult for you to understand are those we make to Tlaloc, Lord of the Rain. Difficult to understand how a priest could open the breast of a six or seven year old child and pull out the tiny heart.

You know I'm a dreamer, traveler. At least you should, I've mentioned it often enough. Because I am a dreamer, I know what is said of us in your time. I have seen the discussions of the horrors of the altar.
