Description

A collection of twenty nine stories from around the world, based on the author's peripatetic wanderings. Exploring the peoples' psyche, attempting to understand their motivations, their values and their pursuit of difficult, demanding and widely varied daily lives.

Searching far and near for differences but finding only a same universal decency, uprightness, and courage in adversity. Reveling in the diversity, in the goodness, the rectitude, and the integrity of all peoples.

A grand adventure across many nations, open, and welcoming meeting with ordinary people in everyday situations and yet experiencing extraordinary, and moving events. An elemental open celebration of life, camaraderie, humanity, and mother earth.
