Ill first start off by saying that I had never heard of the rainbow family before a couple of years ago and I have never been to a gathering, but I have done much research on the family and have wanted to attend a gathering for quite some time. The only reason I havent been able to go to a gathering is that Im an inexperienced traveler who has absolutely no friends that would consider going with me and other obstacles like work and college. So for fear of being on the road inexperienced and alone, I have only gotten to know the rainbow family through differnet websites/videos and reading some of your posts on this forum. Recently the rainbow family has been popping up at random moments in my life. For example, the family was mentioned in the book i am currently reading, on a program I saw on tv, and by one of my professors. Having never even heard of the rainbow family's existance until I found it online, I am kinda thinking that maybe these random occurances are some sort of sign. Ive been constantly thinking about traveling lately and I really just want to get out there and expierience life. I feel like I have been stuck in the same place, sitting in the same class rooms day after day letting my life slip by without truely experiencing freedom. I do want to finish college but I need something else to help me live and I think that maybe the rainbow family might be what Im looking for. Traveling and going to gatherings would allow me to meet so many great new people who would probably understand me alot better than the people in my life right now. So I guess I would just appricate your opinions on what I should do...Im a horrible decision-maker and usually need encouragement from others to actually go through with something. Thanks for listening
oh , friend , true signs sing like a rainbow 'round the sun free to see then you be easy on the rainbow trail blessed
Remember that speech Bilbo Baggins gives in Fellowship of the Ring (the novel, not the movie)where he warns Frodo to beware that path that leads out his front door, for it not only leads to the friendly local tavern, but also to the Dragon's Mountain, and to even worse places? Well, he was right. Have fun.
