My Woodstock

A  L  O  H  A !

I made some leather macrame belts

and sold them to a shop.

Then I bought the tickets above.

It was the Summer I turned 16

and I bought my first motorcycle.

Thursday night we drove up to 
New York State from southeast Pennsylvania

in an older friend's car that I remember 

as a low slung, white Ford GT40 Link  

very like photo above. Wow! My life at 

that time sounds exciting! 

It was. 1969.

 We woke up surrounded by thousands of friends, reports of closed highways, and no fences. Tucked the tickets in my pocket and lingered till saturday when it was just too much. 

We hadn't bought food, intending to buy at the concessions. Apparently most others thought the same. People shared what meagre provisions they happened to have. I recall savoring cherry flavoured Rizzla cigarette papers. 

All was peaceful and upbeat including friendly cops directing traffic who good naturedly refused proffered joints. People all seemed relaxed 
and happy just to be there. Be cool, man. 

Who knew there were SO many freaks?! That's what we called ourselves. Hippie is an invented word by outsiders, disdainful adults, Press. Max Yasgur owner of the land summed up what many initially angry locals had to say about us:

"I’m a farmer…(interrupted by a cheer from the audience)…

I don’t know how to speak to twenty people at one time, let alone a crowd like this. But I think you people have proven something to the world — not only to the Town of Bethel, or Sullivan County, or New York State; you’ve proven something to the world. This is the largest group of people ever assembled in one place. We have had no idea that there would be this size group, and because of that you’ve had quite a few inconveniences as far as water, food, and so forth. Your producers have done a mammoth job to see that you’re taken care of… they’d enjoy a vote of thanks. But above that, the important thing that you’ve proven to the world is that a half a million kids — and I call you kids because I have children that are older than you are — a half million young people can get together and have three days of fun and music and have nothing but fun and music, and I – God Bless You for it!”

I cry reading that now, as tears have flowed watching news about
the anniversary on TV News.

Saturday afternoon, we somehow got out on rural roads. I remember mud, and huge crowds of nice people. The performances were WAY down there and tiny. The press of the crowd any closer was too much for me despite the good vibes. I do seem to remember Richie Havens (who I had seen at the Second Fret in Philadelphia Link) kicking it off all by himself with just his guitar and great showmanship. 

Yes, I bought tickets and 

so helped pay for it all.

PEACE, LOVE & UNDERSTANDING

to YOU!

Find that truth, live that truth

We do such important 
work in our dreams.
Dreaming takes away 
our psychic trash, and
adjusts the emotional 
processes of our life.

It is the dreams just 
before waking
that seem to give us 
messages and advice. 
They feel significant,
and through the morning, 
the day, our lives, we come 
to understand their brilliantly 
simple, pungent lessons.

"If you choose to feel affection or kinship with a person
rather than distance or coldness,
you shift the frequency of your light"

"An authentically empowered person is humble. . .
a human being that does not release (their) energy
except in love and trust. . .
It is the inclusiveness of one who responds to the beauty
of each soul. . .
It is the harmlessness of one who treasures & honors & reveres
life in all it's forms. . .
A humble spirit
walks in a familiar world.
People are not strangers to it;
they are it's companions upon the Earth. . .
Humble spirits are free to love
and to be who they are. . .
not drawn to symbols of external power."

the Power of Words

Click on photos to enlarge! "Whoever has the most birthdays wins!" Eddie Sherman

"Doing the right thing will always make everything balance."

Ah Quon McElrath, Social Worker/Social Activist, impatiently to a legislator "explaining" the balancing of priorities to her.

"The dog was created especially for children. He is the god of frolic."
Henry Ward Beecher

"A dog owns nothing, yet is seldom dissatisfied."
Irish Proverb

Japanese researcher Dr. Emoto spent years studying the crystallization properties of water. Water with different characteristics, he found, produces very different crystal structures.

Dr. E. photographs these for documentation.

Polluted water produces brown, ugly structures. Clean water from pristine mountain streams blossoms into brilliantly bright structures of ethereal beauty.

Dr. Emoto got the idea to talk to water.

"Thank you," he said to a batch of water before crystallizing it.

The resulting crystals were as beautiful as angels.

"I hate you," he said to the next batch.

The crystal formed was dark, misshapen and ugly.

Dr. E tried writing the word

"Beauty" on a piece of paper, which he then taped to the next batch of experimental water.

The crystal structure formed was lovely.

Ancient people trusted in the magical power of words.

A prayer written on papyrus, then dissolved in water,

and drunk down,

had the power to bless and heal

they believed.

What other ancient magic have we discarded?

" The more I think about it, the more I realize that there is nothing more artistic than to love others."

Vincent van Gogh

"Sensual pleasure passes and vanishes, but the friendship between us, the mutual confidence, the delight of the heart, the enchantment of the soul, these things do not perish and can never be destroyed." Voltaire

"The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein: it rejects it."

P.B. Medawar

Forty years ago, the lyrics of a song called "Aquarius" brought the dawning of the new age into our collective awareness:

"When the Moon is in the seventh house
and Jupiter aligns with Mars.
Then peace will guide the planets
and love will steer the stars. . ."

At dawn today 14th February the Cosmos actually embodies this perfect alignment!

Some folks believe that this event will help us to actualize our collective longings for love, and true peace.

That it heralds the actual dawning of a real "Age of Aquarius!"

Astrologers, and others, believe that this alignment carries the opportunity and energies to help us to heal the schisms that have separated us for so long; That it favors collective humanitarian movements and the co-creation of social justice.

Perhaps we can finally begin to experience this "Shift" throughout our world.

Finally, the old paradigms will really begin to give way to hope, to practical altruism and to the inspiration that each of us cherish. . .

At 7.25am on 14th February - and for the 18 minutes of the alignment - you are invited to add your own best intentions for love, peace, and cooperation; To be a co-creator of the dawning of the Age of Aquarius in whatever way feels appropriate for you.

You may choose 7.25am (UT) or 7:25 am your own local time to join the energizing wave of intention that will surge around our Earth.

I'm so happy to share this with YOU.

A L O H A! Cloudia
