Two Remarkable Stories of Race, Love, and More

I don't often link to diaries on the big community blogs.

But I want to call attention to two diaries over at Booman Tribune for no other reason that I find them extraordinary.

I am not going to say anything about them, except to say that one writer, Ghostdancer's Way, has a gift for telling the story of his life as a self-described "mixed blood" Native American and the tremendous obstacles he has overcome. The other, Kid Oakland is one of the most talented writers in the blogosphere. Both of them have the capacity to make you smile inside; to give you insight into surprising areas of life; to move you to tears. Don't be surprised if one or more of those things happens to you.
