 If it hangs around long enough, humans will assign significance to anything. What finite softies!

What a uniquely beautiful story! This took quite a bit to get into, but once I got some time to digest a couple of sections, I was captured and then a bawling mess. Gorgeous and unforgettable, Beautyland is a unique tapestry of the human - and alien - experience.
