American Cherokee. Some Scandinavian. Most comfortable in the Desert Mountains, or by the Sea.
Too many kids to keep track of. Old Man in the Shoe! But my favs are Jason, Laura, Stacie and Ryan. So proud of them. Oh yeah...grand daughter Brookie.

The Mist in the Mountains...

That came from an experience I had sometime around 1965-66, cuz I wasn't driving yet. I hitch- hiked up and down the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington like so many others of that time. There would sometimes be 5 or 6 people on an onramp waiting their turn to get a ride. Talking to each other and sharing whatever we had. Little old ladies would pick us up, truckers, men in suits. This was when it was safe ...

Anyway, there is this place called Big Sur along the coast in Cal and it was beautiful. Mountains right up to the ocean. Hwy 1 I think was the hwy that ran through Big Sur.
One night late I stopped hitching for the day and climbed up the mountain pretty high and found a tree to get comfortable under, probably ate an almond butter and honey sandwich on wheatberry bread. Survived on that on most hitching trips. When I woke up in the morning there was fog every where. Couldn't see past my tree. So I smoked some grass and dropped some acid and hung around thinking about the day ahead. (Just so you know, acid was pure back then. Not at all like the stuff around now. It really was a spiritual experience which is why I took it in a natural environment.) Oh yeah, back to nature... So as the morning wore on, the fog began to descend down the mountain. Slowly revealing more of the beautiful landscape. Lifting up higher and higher till at last the ocean began to appear. Like mother nature lifting a blanket off her child, till I could finally see the whole of the ocean, far to the left and far to the right as I could see... just the fog, the mountain, the ocean....and me.

Hope you don't mind that I rattle on so much. Told you I was word oriented, plus I like telling you my stories... so lay down peacefully, and won't you dream with me... see ya soon... Just spreading some Love from my little corner of the ethers. I look at your faces (or images you've selected to represent YOU) and I read what you write. I listen to your music and it helps me see deeply into what's gotten your imagination. And the things your friends write to you all! And what you write to them! The Love they give, the good wishes and kind advice. This is truly a wonderful gift we have. My Sweetest Friend relayed a quote. "Praise not spoken is like wrapping a gift, but not giving it." Something like that...but you get the idea. ...Thank you... 12
