why is it so important to you

what he does

why can't you discover the soul behind hippie lou

and rest

you're too much man

you're more about negating one man's positivity

than discovering your own positivity

lol

i remember once there was this kid who was a nuisance gangstery guy

i didn't even know him, he was the younger brother of someone

i was sitting on the bus, and he hit the glass and laughed with his friend, his way of boasting or something

and i jsut remember not hating, not feeling anything and just wanting to give love to him too

it was beautiful

that's what it's all about

not about who puts their name on what

forget all that

pray for a deeper connection with Godhead

do something but don't let your energy get attached to anyone or anything else

the deeper you go within the more love you will feel for everyone

and hate will vanish

I adore you and will for the remainder of my life. Perhaps my son has relayed this message to you already. Thank you for helping him.

Hey brother just wanted to let you know your a class act.  Glad to know that they're still beautiful and caring people on this earth and I'm truly blessed to know one of them.  Thank you brother for just being you.  Good night and God bless.

I could never be disappointed at another persons lot in life, especially one of my good friends.  Your worth your weight in gold.  Continued blessings on to you my brother.

Its great. I don't know. I liked that other one that I mentioned too, but I like this one a notch better maybe. It is rather pastoral, which is unlike you. I will let you know if anything comes to mind.

Happy Birthday my wise friend!!!

Happy Birthday to one of the kindest, most loving people I know. I hope this next trip around the sun brings new growth and and full heart!

Happy Birthday, Brother From another Mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's your birthday in Australia! Happy Birthday Hippie Lou!-Sending you good vibes from down under. I know you'll have a great day if you follow your subconscious. Miss you

I have certain students, like you, who will never leave my memory. I wish I could be in contact with them all. I find it so exciting to hear how my former students are creating and living their lives.

Free Magic Monday - meeting at indoor atrium at one Bryant park 42nd and 43rd street 4pm -6pm

Magic Monday has been a magical experience for a long time now - people have shown up at the right time and the right place to share stories of not only how they are doing but what they want to manifest in their lives.

It was requested that we find a place where no one has to spend any money - this atrium I believe is in the Bank of America Tower (one Bryant park). 6th Ave between 42nd and 43rd. 4-6 pm. Call or text Myself or Hippie (the vibe master) if you can't find us. Keep the Faith;)

Hippie - I BCC'd this to the list

Magic is not a belief it is an experience

4PM - 6PM (often 630PM)

that makes me very happy, but I am not surprised because  your generous a loving spirit must make people want you around. my door remains open.

You have to do nothing...this is just the stuff that you delivery and is getting back to you...hippie lou you are one artist painting east village with your soul...

rekindling with hippie lou

Dear Hippie Lou/David Webster, 

Long time no talk! How have you been? 

Hope you use this LinkedIn more than your Facebook, haha! 

Yours, 

Your former photographer & networker

I've served this guy coffee for almost 5 years and it meant the world to me that he took time out of his day and make a morning to visit my shop and like always it was filled with meaning conversations. thank you for being such a loyal customer, always visiting me where i made coffee but most of thank you for being my friend bud. i can't wait to serve you breakfast.

don't hold it. All in

I meant to let you know....that you must right more....the depth of your emotions in your words...needs to be shared with the world...

It's from my heart...I feel that you have a lot to give to the world...don't hold it.  All in...please share the beautiful words...if nothing else...your daughter NEEDS to hear them!!!!

and your soul family.  i will never forget it.  if i die today,
i die a happy man.

but i don't wanna die.  i wanna live, because of you!

with much love, hippie lou

i'm not really into money. i've found it overly complicates my life. i usually have enough to buy a cup of coffee every day and that's about it. food and shelter seem to have been taken care of over the last several years, and i couldn't be more grateful.

Dear Hippie Lou,

for everything, thank you.

Specially for your friendship and all your support!

Keep spreading the word full of understanding, compassion, brotherhood and love.

Thank you too Hippie Lou for always sharing possitive messages on Facebook, love to follow them.

What have you been up to? If you ever want to drive a cab, I will start my own company and give you the day shift.

So, does she know you gave me this information? Do I just call and say, hey I'm a friend of Hippy Lou... he told me you're the good fairy and you will help me? rofl Not sure how to approach this one...

i'm okay I'm really thinking about school going to get my RN but do you think you can help me with my SAT's

Hey Hippie Lou, Nice talking to you this morning! I appreciate your insights.

I think you were right about her. It seems like she might want to be friends. I guess it could be worse!

Hey man we should jam out one day!

The Bumble Bee is the ancient symbol of good fortune, joy and harmony.

Bumble Bee is the Symbol of Community, Sun, Personal Power. The Bumble Bee is the ancient symbol of good fortune, joy and harmony. In the dream world, bee comes as a gift from Spirit. He buzzes about in order to awaken us into the moment. Alert and aware, we see that life is sweet and filled with brightness, color and light. Bee also teaches us to engage fully in our creative endeavors. The key is to focus with intention and to be single-minded in purpose. Finally, bee shows us that all life is interdependent. The Bee as Power Animal

Power animals are an integral part of many shamanic traditions. Although an insect, the bee is still represented among the great power animals. The bee is symbolic of fertility, community, prosperity, diligence and work ethic. Some cultures view bees as messengers of the Gods. Their honey has also been compared to ambrosia or nectar of the Gods, thus elevating bees to the status of royalty. The ancient Egyptians often depicted bees in hieroglyphics when referring to royalty or people high standing. Many ancient and elite families even included bees as part of their family crests.

Also consider a bee colony or hive. There are many workers that coexist in harmony and live as a unit. This illustrates the power of community and teamwork. Each one of these industrious insects has a job to do that serves the greater good. The bee’s power reminds us of the importance of the collective where each individual contributes to the survival and success of the group. With such hard work and diligence from each, all are able to prosper. This is a powerful image.

Spiritual Messages from the Bee

Has the bee power animal come to call on you? Whether in a dream or in everyday life, if you notice a bee—take heed. It could be a significant spiritual message.

Examine what’s been going on in your life that would prompt a message from the powerful yet humble bee. Have you been a busy bee lately? Perhaps you are devoting too much time to work and not enough time to play. It’s important to remember the sweetness in life. Even all the hard work of the bee results in the satisfaction of rich honey.

The bee’s message could also be one of teamwork and community. Are you being called to add your talents to humanity? Have you held back any personal contributions that could make the world better? In these spiritually evolving times, many of us are being called to add our voices to the collective consciousness in order to raise the vibration of the planet. The bee is inviting you.

Finally, the bee’s message could be calling your attention to miracles. Remember the impracticality of the bee’s aerodynamics? Regardless, it is still able to fly. Let this be a metaphor for anything you may be attempting. Miracles are possible!

With all its wonderful gifts and symbolism, the spiritual power of the bee is truly amazing. Let the humble bee serve as a guide!

awesome statement from an awesome dude

Hi Hippie Lou,

I hope that you are doing well and everything is going your way.

I am interested in starting a business regarding greeting cards. Alot of my art is ready, and I wondered if you'd had any experience in the production and legal aspects of going into this business. Might we be able to meet if you have any info for me, I would really appreciate it.

thanks hl.  of all my friends, you're the one with the best chance to save this decrepit world.

Hippie Lou you know you contributed to my advertising interest esp with your posters

can you give me an email address for Mr. Hip? i want to forward him my song inspired by his Epicurus quotes.

Hippie turned it out tonite...can't wait to perform with him again

Hey Hippie Lou! I don't think I ever saw this!? (Thank you!) Anyway, I wanted to say thank you for referring me to your friend. I did work with her (am working with her) and had a very positive experience piloting my new biz model. She's great. I haven't been in the city much for a while. In VT now and think I'll be really moving out somewhere green very shortly. Hope you are feeling some good summer vibes my friend;) Hugs

I also considered it an extremely interesting synchronicity that we share a hero in Pippi Longstocking.

I also considered it an extremely interesting synchronicity that we share a hero in Pippi Longstocking. I mean, what could be better than to live without parents, have a monkey a horse, a big house that you can decorate in any wild way you want, dress eccentrically, go on extraordinary and spontaneous adventures and have secret super powers to repel arbitrary authority? I've never met another adult who openly expressed a similar admiration for the scrappy and wonderful character (I secretly fantasized that I was her when I was a child.) So, a big yes to you for that!

Mr. Lou is a beacon for all opportunities collective and creative. If you are going somewhere in these two aspects I insure your investment in him and contacts will come back to you three-fold.

she was a hippie in the best sense of the word.

jethro sending love love love...your mom was the first real connection i made in the e. village, she invited me in and made me part of the "evening of expression" family. i came to the e. village because i believed people like your mom might be here. people who would not judge me and invite a stranger into their magical world of love and creativity and free spiritedness. she was a hippie in the best sense of the word, and she holds a special place in my heart. kudos to you for standing by her and loving her right.  xo

but still with the urge toward the reader to go look into it.

Have you read 'Watchmen'? Your pamphlet idea reminds me of Rorschach. He's the vigilante justice freak who hides his identity as Rorschach. Maybe what you need, and the happy medium between free information and maintaining a degree of structure is a persona that can act like a container for that activity. In my head I can hear a container voice with some spin citing reference, adding a degree of synthesis, but still with the urge toward the reader to go look into it. Indeed, that's the kind of news I yearn for, something looking for trends with commentary and a view onto the original work, going as if along an exhibition back into time, exhibition blended with the archaeological site, etc. Zoom. I'm obsessed with zooming, rotation, the refractions and reflections that collect about a ridge on a transparent/translucent surface.

You were and are BIG in my life.

Dave,

It was great seeing you, and catching up.  The story of your last 5 years is the most astounding and surprising one I've heard in a long, long time.  Stirs up a lot of feelings and is seared into my soul at some level.

You and your advice and support have made a huge difference to me.  You were there for me at so many of the crossroads of my life and your advice and action made the difference between success and disaster at least four times for me.  And that's just what I can remember this minute.  And I'm not counting all the times when I'd applied what you'd taught me later on--there have been many.  You were and are BIG in my life.  I never had another mentor like you.

I wish I had known when you were sick.  I am so sorry I didn't stay in touch.  (I am terrible at keeping in touch.)  You were there for me so many times . . . I wish I had been there for you, maybe I could have done something to help.

Those stories were great . . . thank you so much for sharing them.  The W-LAND story was completely new to me, and I only knew pieces of the other two.

All my best,

I hope I am right to keep pushing.  It's just that I haven't given up on Webster, the economist.

I woke up with this swirling round in my head. Thanks Hippie Lou for reminding me of my true Stevie Sara essence, years ago. ‪#‎neverchange‬ ‪#‎neverstop‬ ‪#‎drowningintheseaoflove‬ x

LIBRA
September 23 - October 22
If there is something of an artistic nature you have been thinking of trying now is the time to stop thinking and start doing. With the Sun moving into the most dynamic area of your chart you can and you will make a name for yourself.

The plain fact is that the planet does not need more 'successful' people.

The plain fact is that the planet does not need more 'successful' people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these needs have little to do with success as our culture has defined it.

Tks for being born, Lou

Very sweet running into you. I HAVE to lend you the Natalie Goldberg! I'll leave it at L Jk's for you tomorrow... but that one I've particularly got to have back because the Gwen Teekle she mentions was my high school great friend!

Here's the EW quote:

..."Furthermore, I thought David [Foster Wallace], at 46, was at a safe age, when things are most likely to be okay or okay enough: the mad search for sex and success that consumes one’s twenties, and then leaves a hangover into your thirties, is done with; the sense of failure, the feeling that it’s all been a waste, that hits after 50 hasn’t come yet. Middle age, which might be a crisis, can also be a calm." ..."So here is the miserable truth that those of us who are given to depression are forced to face when David Foster Wallace commits suicide: It didn’t and doesn’t turn out well. There is no happy ending to the story of sorrow if you are born with a predilection for despair. The world is, after all, a coarse and brutal and cruel place. It’s only a matter of how long you can live with it." Elizabeth Wurtzel 7/31/1967

BUT then and so
 here's my latest Buddha quote mantra distillation:

"The smallest nutshell I can squeeze the entire teachings of Buddha into:

 Pain is inevitable.
Suffering is optional."

FB Buddhist Boot Camp 7/23/2013
 
AND Thich is coming !

Tks for being born, Lou,
(or whatever you're choosing to be called in the spectacular moment)
;-D

Actually, I've made you Wise Sage forever and always. Do you hereby accept this title for as long as we both shall live?

Ducking legit Hippie Lou you're such a monster of peace, love and Zen
