embrace my inner hippie

This was a gradual process, that Burning Flipside helped seal. The mindset gelled and then four days of camping in the wilderness helped move the physical into line with core. And it shows. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve been called a hippie in the last month, well, I’d have a lot of nickels! And then I’d give them to my favorite eco-friendly animal charity. Success!

i was born 40 years too late

i have been trying to be a hippie
besides pot and not shaving for weeks

they seem more peaceful and loving and i just wish to be calm and happy

i have been doing ha a lot of yoga, art, saying rad and far out.
i stay true to myself so much more.
i know who i am, and slowly, im letting everyone else see it too.

I know there is a hippie living inside of me, but it’s stuck in or behind something, so this goal is a two-pronged one: 1)Start chipping away/thawing/dissolving my hippie cage, and 2)Stop adding layers to it, as this is counterproductive.

I’m doing everything I can thing of right now to release the hippie: hanging out with my hippie friends, becoming a vegetarian, starting up yoga again, playing with my dog, hiking in the Greenbelt and I’ve started painting again; however, it’s still pretty hard going. I think if I could work someplace like a thrift store or a yoga studio or a botannical garden, this would help exponentially, but this isn’t feasible right now.

I welcome any suggestions. I’m going to go listen to some Ani DiFranco now.
