Wonderful beyond measure

The stories here are from people who most of would consider “nuts” or “out there”. I think there is incredible benefit in hearing the voices of people who do not lead the sort of well ordered lives most of us in the USA live, and hear that they are thriving. It opens your heart. They really are beautiful creatures.
