In her case nature represented beauty - and refuge. \"It's so peaceful out there and the air smells so good. I mean, it's polluted, but not as much as the city air. For me, it's completely different there,\" she said. \"It's like you're free when you go out there. It's your own time. Sometimes I go there when I'm mad - and then, just with the peacefulness, I'm better. I can come back home happy, and my mom doesn't even know why.\" The she described her special part of the woods. \"I had a place. There was a big waterfall and a creek on one side of it. I'd dug a big hole there, and sometimes I'd take a tent back there, or a blanket, and just lie down in the hole, and look up at the trees and sky. Sometimes I'd fall asleep back there. I just felt free; it was like my place, and I could do what I wanted, with nobody to stop me. I used to go down there almost every day.\" The young poet's face flushed.

It was like they cut down part of me.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Richard Louv" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/richard-louv/she-was-one-of-those-exceptional-children-who-do-still-spend-time/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/77e/richard-louv-3583_beauty_she-was-one-of-those-exceptional-childre_23844.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/77e/richard-louv-3583_beauty_she-was-one-of-those-exceptional-childre_23844.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/77e/richard-louv-3583_beauty_she-was-one-of-those-exceptional-childre_23844.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“She was one of those exceptional children who do still spend time outside, in solitude.
