Yes you are right. Baba Ram Dass.And I remember
that Perls had the “I am me and you are …and if we find each other,it is beautiful.” quote that was on a poster I had once and I remember being disapointed when I found out they left off a line
which was something like ” if we don’t then thats ok too.” (i know this isn’t exactly it) I always thought that said something about manipulation of what people represent or are thought to represent and that each of these “characters” we read about are really “people” that we don’t know. . really.
Also too that the “summer of love” thing that is represented in the main stream media is not exactly as “hippie flower child love and peace” as it is made out to be.This is why i like to read stories by people like Kesey that allow me to read between the lines and see the stuff underneath the tiedied teeshirts. Any how this is fun. Thanks.
