I'm hoping people will add more to the list. I think I got all the obvious ones.

Dude, it is not cool to solicit illegal substances here. The whole world, including law enforcement, can read this. Please feel free to re-post sans drug solicitation. Thanks.

that is most excellent! :)))

I used the Tie-Dye Mandella as Inspiration. (This is not well written as I quickly wrote it out after it happened... trying not to forget anything and I tried to rewrite it but it kept coming out differently and I just wanted to share it with you---as it happened---this is not designed or edited by choice. K, Just wanted ya to know that...I was so glad to see the pictures posted on-line of it at the show (thank you picture posters). It was amazing to see it with the Band and Audience. AMAZING, is what I said as I then began mediating on it. (I won't get to be with it for a few more days). As the mediation began and inspiration began I saw Phil...(Hi Phil) Then the red heart on my Drivers License appeared in my mind (and I just love that red heart---incase you don't know>>it shows that you are a registered Organ Donor). And then I faintly heard Donor Rap (and I just love a spirited Donor Rap). Then the numbers 11/11/10 came to mind...Vetern's Day---this Thursday. Then I began to cry (usually during mediation I do not cry). I then saw my dear friend, Peter. We were kids together and he went off to Desert Storm and Died there. He was an Organ Donor and saved the lives of seven others all over the world with his passing---Double Hero Status! And, I cried some more...I felt great love as I cried and knew everyone he was with I loved them too, I love the flesh AND spirit of people. It was all so profound, really. I was open to it all and was making beautiful connections>>>Then I thought of his Mother who lives to this day and still mourns for her beautiful son, she is in the Gold Star Mothers Club and thinks of him everyday. A Real Mother's Love is Awesome and it does not fade away, this I know, personally. ALL of it was related to love and that was where the mandella was leading me in these passing moments. Love, love, love but what is love I then thought and I shivered awaken from the mediation and it ended there. I knew it was profound and I ran to the dictionary....flipping the pages searching for the defination of love. According to the New Oxford American Dictionary---love is defined as: Love: n. 1 an intense feeling of deep affection. Then it went on and on after that (go and see) until in the same defination itself ended on this note>>>-DERIVATIVES-loveless adj. lovelessly adv. lovelessness n.; loveworthy adj. And then I realized, my mediation just paid off because it seemed---to me...the defination of love has gotten a little tainted along the way by man. To me--- how can loveless even exist anywhere in the defination of love as it is where love is not. And from what I knew a derivative was a mathematics term of somesort. There were alot of other terms defined relating to love there too, again run, run and see. I found the defination of love affair n. 1 an intense enthusiam or liking for something (hmmm almost sounds better than love AND it has enthusiam, tisk tisk, to me.) So, "What is Love?", I asked myself and I decided that it could not be found in a dictionary, at least literally but then shouldn't it literally be in there. I kept reading all about the kinds of love listed there and I found this good stuff...>>> Love-in: n. a gathering or party at which people are encouraged to express feelings of friendship and physical attraction associated with the hippies of the 1960's- ORIGIN 1960's orginally with reference to Californian hippie gatherings. AND I smiled really BIG relieved Love was Real and IT was Defined by the 60's, phew. I sat back into couch relieved that --- that--- was in the dictionary, nice. I closed my eyes and the mandella reappeared in my mind, I took some deep breaths and felt the smiles of the people the madella was made for, so many of them I knew and so many I didn't know... then I felt LOVE & JOY (Ahhhhh) it was mine and I knew that I had it and it would never be destroyed within me, for the rest of my life! I knew it, Love was and is Real, we had, we have it and we always will>>>time could never, would never and has never destroyed it and it is everlasting! (And the mandella lead me there...AMAZING ART and THE GRATEFUL DEAD! The love inside the mandella and the meaning you have put into it...lead me to this moment, thank you so much. Then as I was still on the couch with My Eyes closed, Peter's smiling face appeared in my mind---it was Veterns Day on Thursday and it was on 11/11. And I saw a red heart again...and I gently wept in an intense feeling of deep affection. Signed with love STheGratefulDeadB

Love is Real. Everyday. It was then and it is now. Love is ALL you Need. Eyes Of The World --------------------(----@ Lyrics By: Robert Hunter Music By: Jerry Garcia Right outside this lazy summer home You ain't got time to call your soul a critic, no Right outside the lazy gate Of winter's summer home Wondering where the nuthatch winter's Wings a mile long Just carried the bird away Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world But the heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings But the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own There comes a redeemer and he slowly, too, fades away And there follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom and decay And night comes so quiet, its close on the heels of the day Sometimes we live no particular way but our own And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own SherBearDeadInASongofMyOwn
