I'm 51 and married living in Brooklyn ,NY. I 'm depressed at times. I want platonic friends who can do/or be some of the following:1) critical thinkers who even question streotypical hippies 2) Empathic-not only in dealing with problems but sharing joy and ecstatic states 3) Positive attitude; for me the fictional hippy past is in the present but I am there only with my husband or by myself 4)" Abberant conduct( oops sorry I was trying to be lively and fun) "- I enjoy free style dancing ,tumbling around,yoga,bicycling,gettin absurdly funny 5) Ethics of :cooperation , 4 ever young,kindness to all to -ones capacity. An interest in real live friends not on the internet 6) Creative& Youthful- most f*ckers my age seem hardened, boring afraid to be seen as creative or bohemian.It's like hangin with ones parents 7) focus on kindness ,helping others etc, more than material status. 8) Direct spiritual experience;thru art,music dance,sex 9) intelligence helps-I'm a borderline genuis and it gets lonely I live in a religously conservative area of Brooklyn.I'm a moderate Red Thread Zen -atheist. What happened to head mentalities? What happened to wonders Where is the lost chord! I'm doin the best to survive without these sort of folk Rainbow Family seems to be lame ,worn out,bitchin 2 much about now instead of using now to create ---THEN! What do you think has happened to that mindset?
