But you <did> join them by being in the same air. It was enough without intruding. We don't think about others enjoying those holy moments... the same ones we've been blessed with. It is good to not "un-see". It makes us all one.

Some of us are proud to be geriatric hippies. Why the hell not!?

I still listen to The Dead. Lost my love beads somewhere along the way though.

This is the best, Sharron. I loved it. Thanks for the mention! (And don’t you just love John’s work? He’s one talented guy.)

I do love his work. Does he have a website where he showcases his photos?

He used to have one a year or two ago, but I believe he stopped paying for it.

You might suggest Weebly.com to John. It is free, and sort of specializes in hosting photos. It is the platform I have my own website on. Have him check it out. rookandraven.weebly.com

Thanks for the suggestion, Sharron. I’ll pass that information along to him. Also, your website looks great!

Ah patchouli. The diabetic coma producer of aromas. The dancing sounds fun, but yes, one should never witness one's mother in a sexual mode.

Especially with "Uncle" Charles... ( Who was that guy and why was I to call him uncle...?)

This is classic, Sharron!! Love it. I cringed at the thought of my mother, in that way!! But1969. The year I graduated high school, and the world was my oyster. Janis, Jim and Mama Cass were still belting them out…Woodstock was 𝙩𝙝𝙚 place to be. Love was free. Freak flags were flying, etc. My mother would never be caught dancing in the buff, and the only joint she was familiar with, was the Hurry Back Inn. But I…well, that is another story for another day. ✌️😎

There is 1969, seen not simply once again, but from new eyes.

Isn't it?
