In some form or fashion, we all have our own obsessions. The question is, are they good or bad? Obsessions can make us feel conflicted. Are they healthy? Do they waste my time or make me productive? Do they mean I have a remarkable ability to focus? Am I crazy or embracing my true self?

This issue of Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine offers an amalgam of vignettes that explore how some obsessions* manifest themselves. Are they good or bad? We believe this issue is all goodness, but we’ll let you be the judge.

*We came up with the obsession theme long before the pandemic. Not to say we are visionaries, but we do have crystals in our office and a few of our editors meditate regularly.
