I hate nature. I really do. Nature is composed entirely of sticks, dirt, fall-down places, biting and stinging things, and savageries too numerous to list. And I'm not the only one who feels this way. Man has been building cities since the year oughty-ought, just to get away from this stuff.

Give yourself time to get better.

Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them. I don't believe in ghosts, I said, faintly. Some people can't see the color red. That doesn't mean it isn't there, she replied.
Sue Grafton
Image
We all need to look into the dark side of our nature - that's where the energy is, the passion. People are afraid of that because it holds pieces of us we're busy denying.
