My sentiments exactly !
Heres some stuff from an old hippy book (1969) I had, that gives us some food
for thought?

From the first seed of life, we are brothers and sisters. Our bodies are from
the same womb. Here we are one with the Earth and know her as our Mother, and
through her our heavenly Father, the universal power. You can do it! Getting
out of the city isn't hard, only the concrete is. Get it together with a few
of your friends. Have like intent. Buy land. Don't rent. Money manifests.
Trust. Go live in a tent, make a tipi, a lean-to, plant a garden. Create a center.
Come together! Have patience. Have faith. Growing close takes time. These are
the lessons learned: Do it yourself. Become self-reliant. Make a family, a
tribe. Keep it tidy. Flexibility is vital to organic growth. Numbers are
cumbersome. Many are curious, many truly seeking. Turn them on to turn within. Keep
your heart open. Provide rest for the weary, a meal for the hungry, and food for
the nourishment of the soul. Plant a seed. Don't be fainthearted. Ask those
who stay too long to move on and let the seed take root. From one come many.
Ask them to go forth rejoicing. If a brother stands in the dark, be the light
that he may see. Be strong. Slay the ego. Be humble. Give thanks to our Father,
the universal power. Heaven and earth are here and now, ours to inherit.
Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Hare Krishna! Peace and Love...
happy week end!
