Little Folk

“I think this is probably Neverland. Children are growing level- not up. Adults bring themselves back to young. Toys and costumes and Free Love and doing whatever we want to be us. Just be you. I’ll be me, and we’ll love eachother because of it; not despite it. And I can’t wipe the smile off my face because I’m walking around in simple happiness of just living outside of time and outside of worry. Nothing else matters…in the most adorable, happy way.”

“This Counsil Tree is cool and calm and the branches are so gnarly that sitting in it feels like we are in a cloud of air under the ground with the roots.”

“This is definitely Neverland. I met some people- mother and daughter from Dallas, and we were able to speak about the magic that exists here. Virgins feel it right away. All of a sudden we can do things we would never do elsewhere. We must have babbled like silly gossip girls but then Tony, who has been here 1976 took me to a group of people playing songs. Papa Ducktape, Will Shakespeare, Summer, and Tammy (on the flute) were all there. They sang a song by Ryan T. Bridge. I took some photos but I get the feeling that the click of the camera, even without a flash is like a too bright snap in people’s consciousness and I wouldn’t want to startle anyone out of their reality.”

“I am grateful that people respond to my happy glow and smile plastered across my face. I guess sincerity glows after all. Raina said that I am the bubbles in champagne. That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me about me.”

“Matt was an alcoholic and he’s ok now keeping busy so he can stay out of his thoughts. He builds beautiful structures, and he hopes they will inspire a young boy to figure out where it comes from and how it works together. He keeps helping and doing good, but there is a melancholy layer underneath all of it, and that’s where doing good to distract and keep busy becomes just a bit tainted.”

“Tyler has a reputation of sleeping around. But he explained to me that he just loves giving pleasure so much that he is a sex addict. I am still trying to figure this out. I think in a way needing to give pleasure is a need to be wanted and needed, almost to the most extreme, possibly twisted extent. On the other hand I have observed the way he picks up responsibilities all over the place, and interacts with Julie and the kids, and it’s almost like his intentions- his remarkably eager to please, pure hearted intentions- make the vulgar, over the top parts of his personality quite possible to pardon.”
