Yesterday I ran an errand on lunch then sat in my car and ate, listening to my old rock and roll on my phone. I had the door open for a moment and a co-worker walked by and said “loud enough?” I think it was maybe Neil Young singing Heart of Gold. I said “what?” Lol. He laughed and repeated himself… It’s a joke between us, I’ve worked with him over 10 years and my hearing is bad in one ear.
But the music would have been loud anyway. I looked at him and said “you know I’m an aging hippie!!!”
Of which I’m quite proud. 😊 Since I discovered things like meditation, sound and vibrational healing though, I leave the drugs out of my life. I was at a gong bath one night and finally made it back into the room when it was over. Sitting in front of me was one of the facilitators and I said to her, “Geezus, if I’d known about this when I was in college I wouldn’t have smoked so much dope!” She laughed. Let me clarify… We called marijuana dope back in the day, 40 or 45 years ago. My son has told me that “dope” now refers to crack cocaine. I am taking about pot, weed, herb. Not cocaine.
But really gongs and vibrational healing has taken me deeper and higher than anything else I’ve ever done.
I notice I’m not the only aging hippie at these events either.
Just sayin’. Life is good.
