I find not direction in the readings of those with whom my eccentricities are similar, but rather validation.

My only solace is that I find a peaceful place where I might be resigned to my depriving loneliness.

I think a good number of us from the UK found our way to Kiva as a result of that article.

Joe, could you please modify the "New York Times" to "New York Times and reprints". I read about KIVA first in the Omaha World Herald which reprinted the New York Times article.
