Hey Hippie lou i just read yr msg now at 7:39 pm i had to wait to see my new temporary resident doctor and get a tetaus shot and tested for hepatitis b and b the whole shebang. I feel badly for our mutual friend and im very happy for u! I want to and will keep in touch cuz u have transformed yrself into a shaman or an american monk. Henry miller is the writer 4 u now! Lets call each other meet for coffee and converse about videos poetry prose and our ongoing new narratives! Yr friend,

What a beautiful message! Yes, let's get together for a coffee, maybe next week?

Okay sounds groovy. I just got home so tired i just told my roommate that life is unfair but it should be and we can make it so or a least try i have an ent appointment next monday and will get a home visit next week from a caseworker when he tells me which day we can make big plans the true me is in my writing even text msgs or perhaps my writing wakes up when i write to u u shaman u. Thanks 4 yr reply! Keep them coming!

Hippie lou what i mean is that life is unfair but it should be fair and i will fight til my last drop of blood to make it so im so glad i know u. when i read yr text msgs i can hear the uplifting sound of yr utterly positive voice u listen and then speak both profoundly see u next week i pray night night ciao 4 now

I'm glad I know you as well. Hang in there and keep writing, keep listening, keep dreaming. with love, hippie lou :-)

Thank u so much for yr reply. Yes u hit the nail on the head u wrote what i need to hear and what i need to do with my life. Thank u. Lets talk and text and make a plan to meet next week. Yr new narrative brother, : )

People in CA are a whole different kinda person. So casual and aloof. BUT I'm taking care of myself- I have a great apt 10 minutes walk from town. I go to the beach when I can and can't wait to meet some real friends!!! I miss our peripatetic school

Strangest thing happened after I sent you that last text...minutes later a stranger in the street invited me to dinner. I accepted and we had a wonderful philosophical conversation! The lesson: ask the universe and you shall be provided for. Everything you taught me, manifested last night....

Honestly, I don't even set a price. I think a typical suggested donation for a class like that is $10-15, but your presence alone would be delightful :)

Sadly for your imagination no, but there was a lot of conversation about art, ideas and how you are a great sounding board for creative ideas :)

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.

Dearest Hippie Lou,

Thank you so much for your postcard!! I'm grateful for your love and support-it really means a lot to me. Thank you thank you thank you.

Love and Light,

hi hippie lou,

i hope you don't mind that i replied to you now-- i feel like i should've gotten back to you earlier, so i feel a bit sad about that! but that's wonderful that you sent and wrote some post cards. they're definitely encouraging, for sure, since you wrote that you want to keep people company when they might be feeling lonely or in a bit of a personal haze.

i think discovering one of your postcards on a coffeeshop table, etc. would be great for someone who hasn't met you before! i'm not really feeling the postcard spinner idea, either..

it was awesome to see you and our mutual friend! yes, i thought our conversation was very rich-- i'm glad we were able to share those things as well, hippie lou! i've so appreciated your listening ear, encouragement, and understanding while i've shared my story with you. you've become a father-figure of sorts to me, which i appreciate so much as well!

i hope you enjoy your monday!
