We depend on our surroundings obliquely to embody the moods and ideas we respect and then to remind us of them.

We turn to wallpaper, benches, paintings and streets to staunch the disappearance of our true selves.

I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life.
