a message from a young hippie to the experienced hippies

I would just like to say hey and thank you to all you far out, experienced hippies who started it all in the 60's! I feel as if i owe you big time, which i do because if it werent for you and the movement than many things would not be like they are today and my life would certainly be different because there wouldnt be all these groovy ideas and beliefs that i believe in and spread among people. Your efforts, ideas, movements etc have inspired me throughout my life and have a mind blowing impact on me! Ive got many things i could say but ill just end it there for now...



Peace, Love and Happiness!

 

Always good to see another young person with good ideals.
Welcome to the forums.

There are many good old souls here.

Wishing you good karma on your lifes path,
teepi

 

it's so nice to be apprecieated .. thank you so much Spaced..I hoped we made a difference in someones life.. we took a lot of shit and still do for our beliefs..but if it makes a difference it's all worth it..at least it all wasnt for naught.. I don't belive we wasted our energy in that way..or took the hard end of the baton at the demenstrations and peace rallies for nothing.. I took a bullet in the foot and a broken kneecap from a billie club in the 9 yrs I was there in the haight.. I knew some that didn't make it at all.. I have battle scars but I'm alive and kickin'.. there must be some reason I was spared.. may be I'll find out before I die.. that would be cool.. then I could post it in here..

 

Welcome here Space...you know I still like 60s music best, and I can't help but remember the good ole days every day that I breathe....I wish for you to have many good memories when you are our age. Peace, ruby

 

Thanks for the kind words. I second teepi's words...wishing you lots of good karma.

 

I wish you the brightest blessing and hope you post often.. welcome and peace be with you..

 

Thanks from me, also, Spaced!! It is good to know that so much changed for the better during the 60's...and it quite scary to me to think of how our world would be now if the 60's never happened.


Keep on keepin' on!

 

i'm a youg hippie too and u guys are awesome!! u guys don't even kno how many lives u affected! i just wish i culda been there=(

 

Thank you guys and Right On! It was fun - groovy and far out.

 

lol yeh i gotta second spacedeadhead on this, the world would be a much colder place without everything you guys did and accomplished. for what it's worth you have my eternal thanks and respect


if we stop laughing we die inside, if we die inside we cannot laugh. so truly we must never stop laughing

hehehe

 

ya, Spaced nailed it shut

Namaste

 

I dont think it started in the sixties. The way Hippies live and think has been around as long as men/womyn has. The era of mass communication just made it easier to congregate, which then caused the attitudes to spread. You now no longer only had the point of view you were raised with being the only one staring you in the face. Thank the media.

 

Yeah that's why you younger people need to keep up the work.
This planet can ONE DAY, be Heaven, Halvalah, whatever you believe in.

 

Ya, hobos of the depression were just as groovy, so were/are gypsies

 

as were the bards and troubadors of the middle ages.

 

ya man, or Niger delta desert nomads

tons of wicked folks, I think hippies just sort of packaged all these ideas within the constrainsts of our culture and western society, very groovy shit

 

i have to agree with all the other young hippies...thank you so much for everything you've done.
