I Am a Hippie

dang it,
 i was raised by a HIPPIE,
and as a result

I AM A HIPPIE

Today I spent time thinking about the world and the people in it, and quite frankly, I don't like how we as human beings chose to live. First I should say that I do very well in school and I'm even running for valedictorian. I respect...

I don't believe my personal definition of hippi is the same as everyone else's. I do occasionally smoke pot, but my world doesn't revolve around it (anymore). I bathe daily. I try to abide by the saying "Live and let live", and raise my...

I am an old hippie who never sold out and became someone else. That does not always go over so well here in the south. LOL I spent years living in Greenwich Village and let me tell you it was a culture shock to come back here and...

Woodstock
(Joni Mitchell)
Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, tell me, where are you going
An' this he told me
Said, I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to...

I have always enjoyed The Beatles. Some of my happiest childhood memories are accompanied by their beautiful music playing in the background. When I was a teenager I began to look into the culture surrounding The Beatles. I was curious...

This is my MAD “Hippie Self”
1984 When I had just arrived at OZ Land Down Under
“Boy George Was Turing in Melbourne”
Now 2012 Today he is Turing this time as a DJ
He said I am now “Happy” to be Myself, Last time I was...

much to my son's disgust, i am still a recovering hippie.
always was, and alas,
always will be!

I come in peace if not in pieces of the wholeWould I lie if not by sword of justice?To fight for peace and goodwillWhy do we send out our sons out to battle some ones else beliefWhen the material life is swarded in hateWhy are some so...

Sometimes I forget that it is theirThen to be reminded by my rainbow friendsLast night one was cheeky as it flew in front of meThe green flight so bright and mesmerizing as it flew onThe bloom of the dianella plantsThe small flowers...

well, i think have some hippie traits.

i grew up obsessed with music, believing it was the answer. i liked folk music and the beatles. (but i'd listen to anything, including rap, classical music and plastic pop music.) i've been...

i lay on the ground to see the sky to feel the earth to stand like the trees and to be free as a bird ,singing my song blissfully

I am honored to wear the jacket for peace.
The beauty to smile to a stranger and pass on peace is an honor.
I wear this jacket as a symbol of my goal to bring little pockets of peace as my little steps will take me.
The peace journey...

when I became a teenager in the early 70's life was a lot easier now people had a lot more respect, for each other, and we also did a lot of drugs, most anything that was on earth, we might have done some silly things while we were high...

It puts me in a box and makes a lot of assumptions...but I am definitely at least 50% hippie... ;o)

In our hippie garden
The rainbows fly in for a feed
They came with the drought in 2004
They are the joy of the sky
So much frivolity and good cheer
The happy crowd
The colures of the rainbow in flight
Healers of Joy so abundantly light...
