Dear Sea Wolf:
I really liked this beautiful piece you posted. Would it be OK with you
if I forwarded it to the "Simple_Living" yahoo group to which I belong? I
think these folks, who are interested in living simply (and usually at
odds with "normal" culture) would find it very inspiring. "Simple_Living
is a yahoo group with about 200 members.
Bets wishes...Colin Neal
