Drums, Dance and Gatherings


It would be great if a horde of people showed up on Saturday at the Griffith Park Love-in and we had an actual love-in , in the spirit of the late 60's gatherings. Everybody bring drums, and flutes, food and good vibes. What is going to be strange, since I don't smoke pot or drop acid anymore, and I'm a lot older, is getting into the craziness and inhibition we all fell into back then. I was a teenager in 1967, and absolutely thrilled I belonged to this tribe of very cool hippies because I turned on, tuned in and dropped out. It is just what I needed back then to keep me going, when I sorely needed to be loved.

We all need a sense of belonging, especially if we had broken homes and dysfunctional families. I myself feel much better about myself today. I've accepted where I came from and forgiven the past since it has brought me to who and where I am today. So when I go to Griffith Park on Saturday, I will have no expectations. I will be seeing a couple of people I knew many years ago when I lived in Hawaii and God-willing it will be a beautiful day and we can share the love that exists within us all, being creatures of the Almighty who is love. Peace
