"Old hippies don't die, they just lie low until the laughter stops and their time comes round again." - Joseph Gallivan

Mr. Elder Hippie,
I'll not spend this moment with a question for your site,but rather to express my gratitude that you have a site. I fell upon your spot by chance,and it filled me with joy. There,in a hopelessly modern world, you grant the children wisdom and guidance, knowledge and well-earned experience. I will visit again and again, if only to see what more goodness you offer.
Thanks for taking time to "pass it along"...

Love,
Timmer

Thank you so much! It's great to hear this kind of feedback. We work very hard on the site to make it a rewarding experience for all who enter. Everyone who participates makes the site what it is!

Living on The Earth by Alicia Bay Laurel.
The early '70s was a time of great optimism (and despair in true Dickens fashion). Everywhere people were experimenting with alternative lifestyles, leaving the cities and heading back-to-nature. Communes were popping up all over and those returning to the land had to learn fast the art of survival. With impeccable timing and the feeling that a guide to this new/old way of life was needed, Alicia Bay Laurel wrote "Living on The Earth", an invaluable resource for those seeking to live in harmony with Mother Nature.
