"You contain a universe inside yourself. There’s no end to it—your conscious, your subconscious. There is no limit to what’s inside you. We are very much connected. There’s no end to it." - Ann Shulgin

spincycle, if you ever feel it an appropriate time, would you share any stories you have? They were both influential on the course of my life even though I didn't ever have the good fortune to meet either one. Not now and maybe not soon, but someday?

I believe that episode 3 of How to Change Your Mind was her last interview.

What a wonderful soul.
