Dawn's own intro inspired me a wee bit:
I'm a recovering hippie wannabe - mostly in the back-to-the-land Humboldt honey way. I just missed the boat, and got stuck coming of age in the Disco Era. But a late intro to Pink Floyd helped me survive. The land I've gotten back to is only 1/3 acre, but is pretty good considering I married a city slicker. My little plot keeps me happy though, and gives us some nice veggies, fruit and flowers.
I still talk to trees and rocks as a matter of course - I'm an animist, believing that everything has a spirit. I'm not up on what makes up Bhuddist principles, but I'm sure I've incorporated some into my life. I'm spiritual, but not religious. There are too many good ideas and points of view for me to choose one culture's way over another.
Even with the old hippie aspirations, I can be obsessive about details. ...must...organize...crayons!
