It was the first.
The biggest event ever.
I was there.
It was overwhelming!

Woodstock - The Message of History's Biggest Happening Friday, Aug. 29, 1969 Time Magazine Link
The baffling history of mankind is full of obvious turning points and significant events: battles won, treaties signed, rulers elected or deposed, and now, seemingly, planets conquered. Equally important are the great groundswells of popular movements that affect the minds and values of a generation or more, not all of which can be neatly tied to a time and place. Looking back upon the America of the '60s, future historians may well search for the meaning of one such movement. It drew the public's notice on the days and nights of Aug. 15 through 17, 1969, on the 600-acre farm of Max Yasgur in Bethel, N.Y.



Talk to yourself
like someone you love.
Brené Brown

By being yourself
you put something wonderful
in the world that was
not there before.
Edwin Elliot

Caring for myself is
not self-indulgence,
it is self-preservation,
and that is an
act of political warfare.
Audre Lorde


Why not touch things
that we hate and turn them
upside down and inside out? Alber Elbaz

  1. What is it about Hawaii Aloha that always makes me tear up when I hear it? We used to sing it at school.

    Yes there are Woodstock tickets available on eBay and they are not that expensive. But this one is mine. Once I got there you did not need a ticket, lol. Appreciate each of you!

  13. Dear Cloudia,
    ever since I read about the Hawaii fires, I've thought about you. I hope you and your loved ones are doing well. - You actually went to the Woodstock Festival? This is truly a legend to remember even if you haven't been there yourself. I wasn't there, but I have the images in my mind and the music in my ears.
    Kind regards - Elke (Nature Thursday)

  15. I have seen documentaries of Woodstock and I wish I could have taken myself back to that time and had that musical experience. You were SO lucky. And from what I saw, probably pretty stinky by the end, too (grin).

    Cute dogs and Pixie put things right today.
