The people who we call hippies are everywhere these days. You might not recognize them if you're LOOKing for them. They aren't all running around with long hair and love beads (although not gonna lie, many of us are!!)
I consider the "Hippie Vibe" to include: thinking for yourself. Loving one another, or at least accepting them. Being conscious of your effect on the planet and your community. Creating beautiful things. (Not limited to the traditional arts, this includes: conversation, kindness.. creation is what you put into existence)
You may be surprised. I witness this positive energy exchange daily. At the bank, in line at the supermarket, on the bus, on the street. People wearing suits, people wearing hoodies and jeans. If you take the "image" out of the equation, you'll see that we are surrounded by "hippies".
Yeah, there's a lot of fear, hate and cruelty in society. A lot of people afraid to deviate from the norm. But look at the bright side.. at least it's not the early 50s ;)
