So I went in the chat room here on hipplanet to check it out. They were asking this very question. Why gather? unfortunatly they also added that getting hassled by the feds scared the hell outta them. Anyway, I like the answers given on http://www.floridagathering.info "We gather to share and care for each other, and to manifest a vision of how it could be, how it should be, and how good we can make it. Just as the different colors of a rainbow cooperate to create magic in our sky, our many colors cooperate to create magic on our earth and in our hearts." "We also gather because it is our God-given right--defended by centuries of the blood and anguish of the dead, wounded, and scarred who fought for Freedom and paid the ultimate price--and reaffirmed by our nation's founding mothers and fathers in our Constitution--to assemble as Free Individuals and pray for peace and the healing of our Mother Earth and our Human Race. It is a right written so deeply in our genetic code and the human experience that no government, agency, or bureaucrat may regulate it." "But most of all, we Gather to be together, just like our ancestors did, around the living light of the heart circle fire, to share our Humanity and commune in the Cathedral of Nature as our Creator intended."
Thanks PrismMama, We so often forget ALL our Colors make a Beautiful Light! HO!!!!! Tradin' Bill http://members.tripod.com/~ohhotrod/rainbow/rainbow.html
