And I don’t necessarily mean friendship groups – or family – the people we are thrust together with and comfortable (or even uncomfortable) with over a long period of time. I mean those groups we land up in which usually have … Continue reading What small groups have really made a difference to your life? →chosen-path.org

Perceptual ecology reveals another path, equally foundational but ontologically distinct.…stream.syscoi.com
