I recognized that there are some well-known, little understood, and seldom practiced laws that we must live by if we wish to find peace within or without.

Think of the possibilities--if the ash were red, the rivers would run like blood. Black is so monotonous that you can forget about it, but red--you'd always be thinking, 'Why, look at that. That hill is red. That evil force of doom trying to destroy me certainly has style.
