January thaw : people at Blue Mt. Ranch write about living together in the mountains

"Blue Mt. people are evolving a very different way of living--a very basic, self-sufficient life in which there are far fewer cushions between them and the vivid realities of nature and survival. This immediacy makes for a harsher and more dangerous existence, and at the same time accounts for exhilaration, a tribal cohesion, and a knowledge of life different from the experience of the separate and civilized. These thirty rural communards, many of whom have been at the ranch for over five years, write about sexual relationships, work, parents, children, healing and celebration. They describe feeling their way toward a like that makes sense and feels good, in which they are more in harmony with themselves, each other, the earth and the universe." -- Provided by publisher
