    Seeking only to meet/talk to loving, peaceful pholks. Can't seem to say anything on AGR without finding someone who needs to negate it. This looks a little kynder.


    peace,

    The picture of sunrise over Cayuga makes me smile; I and my son were from the Finger Lakes for some years. We still own a 13-acre piece of what used to be my parents' farm, but winter there is just something I can't tolerate (or afford).
    My son will probably build there in a coupla decades...

    Hi, hippiehillbilly. I don't know how well you knew Sister Diff; she and I were best friends for about 5 years and were buying that property together. I miss her too.

I'm a glass artist, there are a couple of my pieces (which look sweeter IRL than any pic, but what can ya do?), a pic of a pretty pile of beads (like I use in my stuff), and a picture of me before chemo, when my hair was still long.

    AGR is alt.gathering.rainbow, a Google group. It gets unpleasant fairly often. Sadly for me, I found Rainbow by surfing and it came up... for a long time I thought it was the only place to talk to Rainbow hippies... how happy I am to be wrong about that!!! This looks like a really loving space. I hope I don't break any rules, but if I do it'll be accidental and please let me know so I don't keep doing it!

    Im part Welsh as well, but mostly Gael. I speak some Gaeligh (scots gaelic), plan to master it one day, because it is dying and I want my children to hear it spoken.

    I may learn Cymraeg one day, for my Cymri (Welsh) lineage.

    Hmmm... parenthetical thought: didja know there is a large Welsh community in South America that has brought all of its culture, now purer than any that remains in Wales, to the Western Hemisphere?
    Been there abt. 150 years and going strong.

    Sadly, I've noticed that my ability to absorb new information has decreased markedly with age and illness. I say this only because I promised myself that one day I would go to Wales and learn the speech, but now I know I couldn't. Don't wait.

    There was also a tribe of Welsh speaking indians in the south, where the Welsh had been to america before columbus, introduced their language, inter-married and some stayed. there reports of red haired fair skinned indians that spoke welsh when the rest of Europe finally got here.

    I have a friend here, a lady from Wales, always tells me cool things about the country and language as well.

    <<but winter there is just something I can't tolerate (or afford).>>

    I am house poor myself now and believe on the road I will be able to live rather well. My tolerance for these winters has been gone for awhile now.

    Heron: You look so much like a brother I just lost that it made me cry. He was always the first to fill you with light, love and a bear hug that took most off their feet. The world is a much lesser place without him.

    hiya mama turtle n welcome home,,,:)
    hhb n i are together here n the other comp fried its brain this am so ... sista differance,,, we knew her well enough to go sit on her death bed unhook her air supply n smoke her up two weeks before she died,,,, we spent a couple weekends on her land last spring with her and we also have about half of her woods her at the farm,,, she felt that we are trying to carry on what her visions n dreams were n couldnt seem to do,, our place is verrrrrrrry much inspired by hers. We inherited her puppy n delivered Seeker to her new family. we inherited SERF site as well and last but not least when we have the funds to get her ashes outta hock i get to sort through them and parce them out to those she wished to have a part of her and then roll part of them up n smoke them in her "goin home" celebration this spring... knew her well enough to be able to say that aint many round like her n that folks just plain didnt get her in many ways(me too) but i also feel her spirit round me all the time,,, all i gotta do when i cant feel her round me is take alap around the property here n she is everywhere....:)
    luv n lite..

    n capt seaweed....once ya leave up there you will begin to miss it all just a teeny tiny bit...:).. i hated it up there n still do in lottsa ways but after 3 yrs of next to no snow n winter lol,,, i sometimes wish the temps would dip to -16 n snow like hell for a couple days n show these folks what real snow storms are....beautiful sunrise there on the lake i see....:)(i grew up in WNY n the lakes etcetc...)
    luv n lite
