Thunderstorms (ugly, central Florida “lightning alley” ones) had me searching the Web, and I found this commentary by Dorothy Allison at In These Times. The conversational approach made for good reading, though I’m far from her target audience.

One of her ideas struck me:

“Yet, I also know that that voice saying ‘They owe me’ is the most dangerous bone in my body. It is a part of me that I have to resist. It is a bone I cannot stand on, feel or shape.”

Okay, so she mixes her metaphor. Still, there’s wisdom there.
