John Halstead did a very brave thing:
I stayed there for a little while, soaking in the feeling. And then I got up an went home. The houses still seemed strange to me. Unreal. The grass seemed artificial. Nothing had changed, except me. I had changed. I was healed a little bit. It’s the strangest thing. If anyone had seen me, they would have thought me insane, but it was the most sane thing I had done for weeks. I wondered what other true places my neighborhood might hide, waiting for me to discover them.
Everyone should go give John a hug and tell him, “So what if those people think you’re insane; we think you’re swell!”
