What's your love medicine?

I just wanted to discuss two quotes that I thought seemed really important (because honestly I'm not really sure where this story is going, if anywhere). I liked on page 70 when the narrator asked Nanapush "What's your love medicine?" and then goes on to say "She hates you but you drive her crazy." I like that the narrator is describing different kinds of love to be like medicine, like even if you are sick or dying love may keep you alive. I really like this idea of love as medicine but I'm not really sure what to do with it, what do you guys think? My second quote I really liked was "The greatest wisdom doesn't know itself. The richest plan is not to have one" on page 76. I thought this was in itself wise advice and I like the idea of the greatest plan you'll ever have for yourself won't compare to the one that was meant for you so it's best to stop planning and let life happen. What do you guys think about the way Native American elders passed down advice to younger generations?

    I don't know that you should necessarily stop planning, but you should certainly be open to the fact that life will rarely go exactly according to your plans. I do agree that this quote is very wise advice.
