Barry and Karilea...thanks so much for your replies.....but....... You are both wrong! I am a grandmother......of 9 yr old and an 8 yr old. I graduated from college in 1965...okay, so I was the youngest one in my class... but I am still old enough to have written this poem without consulting the history books. During the summer of Woodstock and the first voyage to the moon...I had my first baby...and I wasn't an unwed teenager...I had been married for 4 years. Hey...I bet I am older than both of you are... not older than both of you, put together...but older than each of you.  lots of hugs to both of you kids!copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

I was recently called an "aging hippie leftwing free-love has-been." Can you believe it? I replied to that person that they were an "underaged self-centered never-will-be." And then I told him he should be careful what he says to a double Scorpio. LOL. I remember flowers, and danced in tie-dyed rainbows more than once at 60's and 70's Grateful Dead concerts. And I still love that peace sign.  and I still believe in flower power and rainbows. Thanks for giving me a smile today. |

Thanks for the reply, Kacy...my friend and fellow flower child....I remember almost getting arrested at a peace rally and wearing tye dyed clothes, torn blue jeans and a peace sign on a chain around my neck. My dear first husband wanted to so badly to go to Woodstock but I was 9 months pregnant and my doctor said...ABSOLUTELY NOT... and its a good thing we didn't go...or our first child would have been born there. May peace be with you...  ~hugs~copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

I lived it! However those that say I still do, so of course all I have to say, is "this was hip!", you diggin it? I have lots of tales from those days, but that is another poem. ~* Reality is an illusion ~ albeit a persistant one *~ |
