New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

Just a picture? ~amateur~

I could make some calls... ;~D

[RosieCotton]

Guess I need to pick up some patchouli, too, huh?

[RosieCotton]

Ha!

[HairOfTheDog]

What the heck is that?

[JenB]

Well, you know, this is her family we're talking about. She could probably have some vague green plant under a light and they wouldn't know it wasn't pot. I know my sibs wouldn't.

[HairOfTheDog]

It's a shrubbery... Shame on ~them~ if they know what kind. ;~D

[RosieCotton]

Yer forgetting that half of 'em have resided in San Francisco at one time or another...and one of them shared a place with a stoner for awhile...

[RosieCotton]

The heavy perfume / incense that lots of hippies use to cover their lack of bathing...kinda. ;-)

You'd probably recognize it if you smelled it. No mistaking it for anything else.

Yes, I have hippie friends...

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes, I have hippie friends...

I never suspected this...

[RosieCotton]

Am I banished? ;-)

A certain percentage of the musical folks back home could probably be classified as hippies. More true of certain genres than others.

[2Jedismom]

Heh heh...I wore that all the time when I lived in Austin. A little goes a long way.

I remember wearing it to a party in the park called Eeyore's Birthday party. Vaguely.

;-)

[HairOfTheDog]

No - I think I probably have more hippies in my background than you do - even bein' in folk music ;~D

[JenB]

Oh, right... see, if you'd shown up and been a stoner, you'd have been out on the street. Some things I can live with, like psycho cats. Some that I can't.

[Corin Stormhands]

For the record, I have ~no idea~ what any of y'all are talking about.

[HairOfTheDog]

I know Corin ;~D

[JenB]

I don't either Corin but I thought I'd fake it.

[HairOfTheDog]

Thing is... I know who's fakin'... either way ;~D

[RMDupree]

[SuziQ]

For the record, I have ~no idea~ what any of y'all are talking about.

Yeah, right. You and I are 'of an age' that if WE didn't partake, *cough* we certainly new someone who did. ;o)

[SuziQ]

I don't believe anything they say now.

I don't blame you one bit!

DIS-trust, and verify!
