text:  I'm in St. Louis, or I was in St. Louis. I had just seen Dances with Wolves. I was a huge fan of The Secret Garden, and I thought, that's who I want to be. So I went out and I tried to become one with nature, sort of, like really get close to this plump squirrel who I nicknamed Natalie. And I realized that squirrels don't care. She had no interest in becoming my friend. And I did realize that nature is ultimately indifferent to us.
