Wow! Sounds like you were quite the old school hippie all right. And your putting soup kitchens together now? Funny how things come around.

Well it is nice to see the movement i helped start did not die out. I was a hippie from 1965 to 1975, now i am 66 and just looking up things hippie after all these lousy years trying to stay afloat. I never made much of myself either, i look and dream back to those ten years as the best of my life. I lived on three different communes, i was a carpenter, mechanic, welder and loved gardening, an odd ball sometimes yes, never did hard drugs as the media portrayed. I am in a dead end relationship, after 27 years we are growing rapidly apart.
It would be cool to find love again. I fathered 37 kids, mostly in those ten hippie years. I never knew most of them, girls in those days wanted babies because welfare was great. Make love not war was our motto then. We had love fests, orgies, and many commune to commune get togethers. I was the only one who worked on a fillmore, Calif commune, there were a dozen or so females who got welfare for a couple dozen kids. The women made most of the decisions, like who could or could not join, where we would travel to, meal planning and cooking, crafts, etc. I turned over most of my pay to the women.
The seven to eight men maintained the place and vehicles, we farmed it, i raised rabbits and chickens. They have the best weight gain to feed consummed ratio on the planet. We kept each other very happy, the women were wonderful. Thanks zorba

Wow, beautifully written Jennifer! And you are so right, most often people tend to focus on their own inner dialogue and forget to take in what’s right in front of them or simply passing by on the street. A smile is magic and can be the one thing that helps to change someone’s outlook on life even if for only an instant. Thanks so much for sharing.

OMGoodness a brain parasite?! I have to admit that I’m a bit leery of pouring water through my nose, but I’m glad that it actually works for some. Thanks for visiting and commenting Cindy.

I actually swear by doing this. I don’t do it often, but when I feel a cold coming on, or allergies starting to act up, this seems to cut it off and solve my problem. When I started doing it, I was using warm shower water do to this in the shower but I heard on the news that a woman using tap water got a parasite in her brain, so only use distilled water!!
