A Revolution?

 I write a day or two ahead.  It still might be a Revolution.  Most of you weren't around in the 60's, but both my wife and I come out of the revolution of the 60's.  But instead of drugs, sex, Rock and Roll, and the anti-establishment movement of the 60's, there was another kind of Revolution that was about the Jesus Freaks of the 60's.  I've been a part of that my entire life and maybe mote now than I was in the previous 50 years.  I can relax now in my own brand of Spirituality.  

But essentially, I have been anti-establishment my entire life.  But where does this come from?  I have my own explanation, but we're not alone.  The Crystal children of the 60's are now retired, if not close to it.  But many of us are still around.   We're still anti-establishnent without dropping out with drugs, sex, Rock and Roll, and anti- establishment ideals.  We're still different.  

Some of us have had careers, but the roots of the Jesus movement haven't left us.  Why?  Because we can't just walk away from that Revolution of the 60's.  I tried to fit into the establishment of the Regan ideals, but found I couldn't.  And it nearly cost me my life trying to fit in when I know I couldn't.  I tried in other ways, but still, I was part of the Revolution.  It's not by politics our Revolution changes the world, but by our Spirituality that we are different.  

I tried to explain this in my blog the other day, but didn't, because it's not explainable.  One either understands or one doesn't.  We don't worry about investments or the size of our bank accounts.  In fact, the things most worry about aren't the things on our minds.  I have evolved to some degree adapting a very simple theology and that theology is the best explanation I have.  It's so simple a six year old can understand it.  Einstein once said to break it all down so a six year old can understand.  I've done just that.

But we don't care if one believes in God or not.  Beliefs of ALL kinds are all over the place.  Some people feel only comformfortable in established religions, where I don't.  For me and people like me we feel most comfortable outside of established religion, or even groups.  We are essentially loners, which might explain why many of us are homeless and street people, because that is who we are.  

I am different in that regard, or I would have no voice.  I thought wealth would make me heard, but I was wrong.  Poverty would silence me.  I need my voice.  But my message is that I am one of the Crystal children from the 60's.  And the Message is simple.  It requires no faith in anything, but for one to make the right choice every moment of every day.  That choice is to live and let live.  That's all there is to it.  

I am not boasting.  On the contrary, this world can get me down.  Some of us have gone on to make money while others of us are just getting by, but we are heard.  That's all there is to it.  My pipe is a part of it.  I smoke only pipe tobacco in my pipes.  It's all I will ever smoke.  But my pipe is a part of my Spirituality.  I can't explain that either.  Today it is my Nording Angel pipe with what I have left of Autumn Evening.  My tobacco order is to arrive on Thursday.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
