your quotes are wonderful, for starters. and the rest is quite remarkable. with kind regards, hippie lou
Yes, I realize not everyone quotes the great philosophers (like Walter Payton). And, you did remark. So, *gwarsh* thanks
Thursday – 10:52pm
btw, the hippies are right!

hi that quote by walter payton is a great one! the wonderful thing about insight is no one has a monopoly on it, it comes from anywhere and everywhere. it behooves us to be listening to all channels.

Do you consider yourself a "Hippie" or a "Beatnik"?
Sent Yesterday
you ask an excellent question! i probably have elements of both, wonderful topic to discuss when we meet. how about you, do you identify with either group?
Sent 12:08pm
I think both groups honor peace & love & creativity so that's what I'm about. Hippies are also associated with drugs and free sex and that's what I'm not about. I get high on being healthy , doing yoga and engaging deeply in my creative process.
Sent 12:33pm
that is a great perspective. yes, i identify with peace and love and creativity too. and i love your process for getting "high"...i think it's wonderful and i share a similar process - although i'm not a practitioner several of the physical aspects of yoga. i hope to be sometime in the future.
with respect to drugs and "free" sex, i think both the beats and hippies were associated with them. they are not part of my life now, but i think both groups were experimental. experimenting with drugs, different "structures" of intimate relationships, eastern philosophy and practices, styles of dress, etc.
i respect experimentation as one of many tools one can use to try to improves one's life, improve the lives of others, and perhaps create a better world and move the human race a step forward. experimentation and exploration are still big parts of my life and probably always will be. :)

i'm sorry its taking me so long to get back to you. i've been struggling to do just simple things lately.
i really loved your bio; very imaginative and playful while still staying pretty true to what you're actually up to nowadays.
So glad you sent in the electricity poem. definitely something that should be shared with a broader audience than just me (and my friend, who i shared it after the first time reading it).
the second poem i've read twice and will probably keep reading until its fully absorbed. it feels really authentic, like your word choices are natural and not attempts to sound fancy.

Hippie Lou,
I don't know if you remember, but I am taking a video class. As my second video assignment - a critical view of a problem - I am attempting to make a video about homelessness in NYC and the right to shelter... i received a suggestion that it would be great to give homelessness a face and a voice and I thought you might be able to find a person in the homeless community who would be open to talking for a minute or two in my video. If this is too much of an imposition, let me know, and I totally understand.

Got it…
Nice poems. Speaking of electricity, we have had a brown out for the last 30 hours. Not fun. We do have internet connection working and that’s about it. I do have a generator that I turn on every few hours to keep the fridge from getting too warm.
We can go months without a power failure and then they can happy three or four times a week. Infuriating….

Electricity by Hippie Lou: An Impression + Recommendation
hippie lou, i really enjoyed reading this poem, because several sets of lines resonated with me, including the first few ("you, we / live to create... live to live / a life worth living) and later lines (" i don't need to / be judge / jury / executioner.")
one suggestion i have is to separate your poetry into stanzas / groups of lines, like you did in "hippie lou's bio". After reading about half the poem, the ux became less reader-friendly to me, because my eyes couldn't take a break from seeing one poetry line after another, while reading your words.
you talk about a very real, down-to-earth human experience in that poem, which i really appreciated reading about!
also, it's so refreshing to read poetry, because when i was a college sophomore, i wrote a lot of spoken word poetry, and performed at places like the nuyorican poets' cafe and the inspired word open mic.
when i was a teenager, i was very interested in youth speaks as well.

a friend had a question...she wanted to know if magnus carlsen (or
other recent world champions) surpassed bobby fischer in talent/skill. i.e. could they beat him?
i assume this is a difficult question but i thought i would pass it along.
H.L.
Magnus was asked@a press conference whether Fischer or Kasparov would have prevailed in a match (forget@other recent champs). I will discuss w/U.
But his answer was that the Fischer of 1971-1972-i.e., Fischer-Taimanov 6-0; Fischer-Larsen qf 6-0; Fischer Petrosian sf 6 1/2-2 1/2; Fischer-Spassky WCC 12 1/2-8 1/2 was & continues to be an astounding accomplishment. The two 6-0 scores are the equivalent of a MLB pitcher throwing 2 consecutive no-hitters!!
But Carlsen went on to comment that while the Fischer of '71-72 was astounding, he played no games as WCC. Kasparov was WCC from 1985-2000, and the highest rated player until 2005-at a time when chess theory was exploding & the competition much stiffer than in Fischer's time.So Carlsen firmly believes GK was the greatest player in history-as i do.
As to Carlsen..well, we will see..😉

hello hippie lou,
i hope your week has started off pretty well since we chatted at madman espresso! i wanted to share a quote from the founder of To Write Love on Her Arms, an inspirational non-profit organization that encourages people wrestling with tough stuff like self-injury and major depression. I attached a photo of the quote to this e-mail, and I hope it gives you a dose of inspiration, hippie lou! :)
thank you for inspiring me to reach out to my 5th grade teacher on LinkedIn-- i wrote to her through a form on her school homepage, she doesn't have LinkedIn, so I was thrilled to find that form so I could type a message to her! If you want to see her profile page (on her current school's website), here it is!
And in an introductory packet for her 3rd grade students, she wrote, "I use a lot of positive reinforcement and patience in the classroom. :)" That sentence definitely captures my experience with her as a 5th grader!
happy tuesday!

not sure...it's always a mystery!
i heard it this morning at a coffee shop. that's always a good start for prospective songs of the day.
after a little research i realized it has a couple of cosmic connections to my life. i remember liking it a lot when it first came out (1968). little did i know the reference to nazareth in the song was to nazareth, pa, a place i would (decades later) live for ten years. and i actually did a favor for someone when i first started staying in the e. village, taking their guitar out to the martin guitar factory in nazareth, which is alluded to in attempts to explain the song's meaning.
ps - i liked the pope's quote: "A selfish and boundless thirst for power and material prosperity leads both to the misuse of available natural resources and to the exclusion of the weak and disadvantaged," he said.

Hippie Lou, thanks for the lovely dinner and for being patient with me during my crabby moment. It was so nice catching up with you and hearing about all the fruits of your love labor.
You are a bright star in the firmament!
Keep spreading peace and love.
even though we are impermanent, i treasure the moments we share together. you are a big inspiration to me, and a role model too.
and always dreaming up new ways to encapsulate what i do. never thought of my work as being "love labor." but looking at it, yes, my labor is love.
and to think that someone who specialized in labor economics in grad school has overlooked this just shows me that your ability to teach and illuminate is endless.

hey! good hearing from you. :)
although it might be hard to believe, she is just like us and the little boy in your wonderful story. she is fragile, and sometimes she needs to go to her bedsheet underworld, a place where she feels safe, secure, seen, and soothed.
it is a testament to the power of your story - we are all like the little boy, we are all fragile. and the bedsheet underworld is a great place to go to rejuvenate and nurture our own health and peace of mind.
i hope the whole world gets to read and understand your story...it's ok to go there, to create this underworld, and to keep ourselves and one another safe, secure, and healthy.
with much love, hippie lou :) xo

I am so sorry for not getting back to you. I am often lackadaisical about responding to email...but I wanted to reassure you that there is no problem whatsoever...I had a wonderful time on Sunday and you should feel no compunction about magic mondays...it is very low key, no pressure whatsoever. I just wanted you to know it was there if you ever needed it.
Once again, sorry for stressing you out. With kind regards, hippie lou

I haven't quite finished it. I am a bit tired, but I wanted to send this to you before I shut down.
thanks for thinking of me and sending it. he (i'm assuming) might be making good points but, due to his language, i find the work inaccessible.
Get real, Dave. You are still a trained economist. You can't play the aw shucks I am just a simple hayseed game with me.
hi, i sincerely apologize for not being in touch...it has been a long time. i meant to respond to your email but just never got around to it.
i'm not claiming to be a simple hayseed - i just prefer to operate in domains where i don't have to make a huge investment to understand a language, professional or otherwise. perhaps i am lazy. perhaps i believe transformational ideas can be expressed in clear, simple language, accessible to all. i'm not in favor of and no longer traffic in languages where one has to be a member of the elite to understand them. these languages divide, in my humble opinion. these languages may hold the buried treasure of our brighter future so i fully admit, through my obstinacy and/or laziness, i may be missing out.
hoping this message finds you well. with love and kind regards,

Im sorry :-/
I don't want you feeling badly or beating yourself up about it at all. You have done nothing wrong. The fact that you want to come visit me is as good as the visit itself. You are the best daughter anyone could hope for.
Thanks.
I love you very much :) xo
