"Sometimes it's good to be alone. I don't know if it's day or night, but it sure is dark and damp. There's a small wooden boat outside in the lake, floating, alone. The smell of rain and earth and mist makes me feel peaceful, but so does the howling of the wolves in the mountainous jungle behind. The fireplace is illuminating the room behind me. I'm out on the terrace now and the sky is getting clearer, its a full moon, and a bright one.
Maybe that's why it seemed dark and bright outside. The water is still, but the mist and the moonlight make it seem as if it's dancing. The hues of green and blue are fading within the darkness, but shining in the moonlight. Such desolate beauty."
