. i can live with that.
James and i ventured with some friends to the Common Ground Faire (yes
i spell Faire with and 'E' - it's old fashion, but i like it that way.
Plus it beats: 'phaire'. So consider yourselves lucky!). In our
travels we were fortunate to run across some of our friends, who are
really more hippie than i am, and we missed some friends who were also
there.
It was a phenominal time. It was the most like being home that i have
felt in a long time. For a shin-dig in "Practically nowhere - Maine"
it was like being in a mini-Santa Cruz.
i think what i enjoyed the most was going to a faire that represented
so many different kinds of crafts and livelyhoods that were all so
tied to being close to earth. Farming, gardening, animal husbandry,
wood working, rock sculpting, metal work, leather tanning. There was
an openess about lifestyles (particularly eating habits), with a focus
on doing things in a way that is not harmful to the planet.
Coming home i lament that Amy was in Wisconsin. i am so inspired to
live more simply and sustainably! And did i mention composting
toilets. . .

Yikes, I didn't offend you Myke did I?? I meant wanna-be in the best sense of the word, just like I'm a wanna-be farmer. Plus you are way more hippie than we are, and that's a compliment to you! You gather mushrooms from the forest for pete's sake and don't cut your hair for suspiciously long periods of time and raise your own animals and live in a kind of commune (for the time being). You are SO hippie man, and we love you!
LOL, I remember mike pulling over when we lived in Gorham and grabbing a handful of mushrooms off the ground randomly. Funny stuff.
I think hippie has taken on a new meaning in a way bro. Its to those that wish to learn how to live the low to no impact lifestyle that will inherit the earth now. Hippie or not, you got me looking at more land again for my garden.
