hippie lou - i find that people make the best possible decisions with all of the information and experience they have have at the time that they made the decision.  i also often find that later (days, weeks or years later) these same people have new information - that they didn't have then - and they judge their past decisions through the lens of their knew information - and then have regret in the choice that they made (before they had the new information).  but i also blv that if we could go back in time - knowing what we knew then - that we would make the same choices again and again.  so regret is based on a non reality - because we didn't know then what we know now. 

lastly my dear and treasured friend - after i left you i thought about my mentioning work - and i wondered if i was being selfish while i was thinking that i was being helpful.  i would never want to be a trigger to you having any kind of unwell health. 

thanks for a great and fun evening.  hugs.

it's rare that i have the pleasure of spontaneous sobremesas.

hippie lou,
a proper note. 

hello my friend.  it was such a tremendous meal the last time we connected.  thank you for joining me.  in latin american countries they have whats called a sobremesa.  i may have mentioned this to you.  they don't rush - they enjoy every bite - and after the meal they sit around for literally hours just enjoying the day or conversation or the shared quiet.  it's rare that i have the pleasure of spontaneous sobremesas but it was delightful to enjoy one with you my friend.

on the business side it's a lot of work.  good problems to have.  when i worked for the california start up it was pre brain injury and i was twenty plus years younger.  this new business is making me fat!!!!  hahaha.  i'm gaining weight fast but i'm loving every bite.  hahahaa.  sunday i'm spending time with our friend enjoying the sun on her rooftop.  come and join us if you like.  the goal for us both is to be off the grid.  to recharge.  and to enjoy the sun.

i look forward to hearing about your glam life :--) and enjoying another sobremesa.  all the very best my friend.  hugs and love.

Thank you!  Yesterday was okay, some hints of blossoms that were savored. 

It’s the 🐝’s time for pollinating!  Keep up the good work: there’s a lot of flowers out there that need attention!

Hippie Lou, I just had dinner with our mutual friend. He is really a special man!

I told him that I feel a bit guilty not having more faith in you, and letting the unknowingness, the void, the silence get the best of me. I further shared that you are a teacher to me as I need to be more comfortable in the stillness.

highway song

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
I was listening to this song today and it made me think of you:

awww, hippie lou, sounds like you found your groove again.
maybe the changing colors, warmer weather, longer days, new friendships are helping you.
i hope you get your songs recorded (sound and video) so that i can listen (and watch) you perform.
enjoy!!

Hippie Lou,

I was just thinking that you are much like Henry Miller in thar one day you simply walked away from your corporate job! You took a leap into the ocean, the great river of life whose source can only be known when one ceases to exist on the ordinary level, but to live & thrive on the cosmic level. It takes guts & you have an abundance of strength & resolve!
I miss you, Hippie Lou.
I hope to see you soon!

Yours,
