    Death: The Predator, Nobody, Escapes

    ByLarry June 24, 2023June 24, 2023

    It is a universal truth that death is an inevitable part of life. Moreover, each childhood trauma can profoundly impact our perception of life. My first encounter with death came at a young age, during a vacation in Yosemite National Park. A photo retrieved from my mother’s things after her death included a photo of…

    Draw Your Soul- a mountaintop experience.

    ByLarry March 8, 2023March 8, 2023

    Turn On-Tune In-Drop Out

    ByLarry February 9, 2023February 10, 2023

    The Jesus Movement created a spiritual revival. The Viet Nam war spilled over the ’60s decade. Timothy Leary famously said, “Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out” to the flower people in the late sixties. Surfing was spiritual, one with nature, and enhanced by psychedelics. California fashion was a lifestyle spreading worldwide. Popular styles included bell-bottom pants,…
