As a child of the sixties, I longed for peace and harmony for all mankind and creation. In the 1970s I found the knowledge that I needed to stay hopeful that peace and harmony will one day exist, no matter what this crazy world does. I believe that time in near at hand.
In the meantime, I want to be the best "earth-rider" that I can be. What a glorious plant!
I never lost my "ecology now" roots, something that awakened in me as kid. I want to live here forever...how can we do our part to be good stewards?
We live in a very greedy society. We confuse our wants with our needs. The youth of the 1960 (really, it started in the 50s) saw the older generation's greedy consumption and rebelled against it. Yet, many of these same people today are the greediest of consumers.
I ask the question, "What do we really need?"
Both my maternal and paternal grandmothers taught me that "waste not, want not" was more than just a saying. They knew the secret to living with nature was conserving what you had and the things around you.
The secret to living is to keep it simple, knowing that happiness lies not in things, but in higher purpose.

Child of the 60s, With Flowers in my hair, I saw the possibilities Of beauty in the air. Time has floated by Like petals on the breeze, Yet, it is hope, which I still see, and the Inherent Truths in which I believe.
