I was never around in 60s or 70s, but I really envy those who lived through that counter culture, It is like missing something I never had!
I really like your blog 🙂
I would be eager to read about your personal experiences of that era, if you lived then.
lets stay in touch through blogs
hey jigdood I like the ring of your name and your blog is most cool! -I am glad you like my posts-and yes i am fully fledged hippie and did survive the 60’s. I would like to keep in touch through our blogs-I do on occasion publish my hippie poems and what I post I have endured! best ana
thanks for your kind reply Ana, I have many questions about hippies and the times they were popular, one of them is how did u manage to break the norms in your time? I mean were you rebels and loved peace at the same time 🙂 did hippies have normal jobs? or were they always having fun? I have a lot of questions, I dont know if you would like to answer, but its not easy to find hippies these days 🙂 I really envy you 🙂
hi-I just wrote you a long reply and lost it all!
okay here’s about me-I came here in the 60’s from England where I was a full fledged hippie.I came from upper crusty military parents. I married my high school sweetheart-he was a wealthy right wing banker-we were very different.
I got a job in n.y. at Columbia University which was the heart of protesting against Vietnam. I HAD 3 babies and cooked them macrobiotic food and got involved in the hippie movement. Despite being total opposites we were married for 24 years. Then I got involved with writing poetry and got published and started my own poetry mag. I had some readings in n.y. my husband wouldn’t go! then I fell in love with a famous poetry editor who wanted to publish my book. He was married with 2 kids. I drove to Toronto where we had a romantic 5 days. we decided to divorce our respective spouses, and moved to a small hippie town in Pa.We drove across the country 3 times and we went to Europe also, I was doing poetry tours.We lived on the edge having poetry parties and gatherings,using tons of drugs, got raided for being subversive. We had a wonderful lifebfor 18 years,when Dave died suddenly of a heart attack-I was devastated. But I carry on writing and he is in my heart always.
I now live in n.j. and have an Indian boyfriend and a hippie I will always be!
by the way-our Ex’s married each other shortly after we got married!
hope you found this interesting
very best ana
Thanks 🙂 it was very interesting. I have one more question, and I d be grateful if you answer it, was there any kind of specific morality that Hippies pursued? or was it kindness and pacifism? I mean was there any theoretical or practical morality that you pursued as a movement?
sure what’s the question?
what was your conception of morality? I mean it wasnt religious as far as i know, and it wasnt philosophical, was it merely a friendly approach, or we could say you had a moral theory as hippies?
thanks for ur answer in advance
my concept of morality was NOT to have group sex-everything else was fine!
🙂 lol, was group sex very common among hippies? like group of how many people?
