Essene days, 1979
I loved this spiritual time when this was taken around 1979. We did great healing work in San Diego, more holy archetype than hippie.
Loved my longhair days. I was pretty short haired during the Summer of Love riding through Height Asbury, home of the Hippies, in 1967, San Francisco. I was riding through on my way to Parks Job Corps Center. I was a VISTA Associate that summer. A Volunteer in Service to America.
One summer evening, I was a chaperone to the youth and that led me into a place called the Avalon ballroom.
It was all quite new to me, The jelly film lights shining on the wall and a lady I never had heard of called Janis Joplin singing.
There were some black youth that Summer who would love to play music at the job Corps Center, and so I used my abilities to help organize some Events around the Bay Area.
The spring before, I was in college and I was the commissioner of men's athletics. I loved to wear my sports suit and tie and be the person who would tell the football team when it was time for them to leave the locker room. I felt so powerful and at the center of community feeling the goodwill of the football players. My first positive role model's that started to help me outgrow my teenage crippled years were all the shorthaired athletic coaches. I loved my experience being a college journalist and a part of the gymnastic team as their manager. I loved running for student body president and almost won, God forbid.
During that time, as Commissioner, I got to help choose the cheerleaders. Of course, one of the mascot tryout ladies, became my first significant girlfriend. We are friends on Facebook. What a hoot!
The aftermath of the hippies were sort of in vogue when I was at UCLA in 1969. I still have the handmade love beads that Christina made for me.
Marijuana was pretty popular then, but I never got into it.
Marijuana? Hippies? I kind of fell in love with the plant when I saw 20 foot specimens of it growing around 2014 in Mendocino. I've never been a smoker, but I would certainly grow it legally and eat the raw leaves that are coming into vogue as therapeutic.
Thanks for asking, Gita!
All in all, i've pretty much known what my life purpose was since the late 70s. And even before that, my soul was guiding me into history making places before I even knew I was a soul.
I've had opportunities to be friended by some of the greatest servants of humanity since the early 70s. What a blessed experience!
My job now is to clearly see the path and to acknowledge the players Who will guide us into 1000 years of peace.
I love the youth of the new generation, and our task as grown ups, Gita, is to stay at the cutting edge of what it means to be fully alive.
Arthritis and aliments have been my friend guiding me since I was a teenager.
My ailments have gotten me into places that I would have never seen had I not walked through life with a bit of pain in my step as well as pleasure in my step.
It's been rich as well as lonely.
It's been a life filled with love and feeling loved as well as feeling abandoned. I want to take it all in and turn it into something beautiful.
So very great to be a witness now to you and so many others.
