Gypsy Waters

In 1969, thirteen young mainlanders – refugees from campus riots, Vietnam War protests and police brutality – fled to Kauai, Hawaii. Before long this little tribe of men, women and children were arrested and sentenced to ninety days hard labor for having no money and no home.

Island resident Howard Taylor, brother of actress Elizabeth, bailed out the group and invited them to camp on his vacant ocean front land. Howard then left them on their own, without any restrictions, regulations or supervision.

Soon waves of hippies, surfers and troubled Vietnam vets found their way to this clothing-optional, pot-friendly tree house village at the end of the road on the island’s North Shore.

Although its population reached about 100, eventually, the state prevailed and succeeded in ousting the campers and incorporating the land into a state park. Today the land is back to nature, and no longer a state park. Peace and blessings to Robert Stone, the film's director.

Try to mess with God

Haiku 12/7

Mercy porte pensées glamour midnite
Angels découvrir la vérité de notre mort
Amour prépare le son de l'indigo

Mercy wears glamourous thoughts midnite
Angels uncover the truth of our death
Love prepares the sound of indigo

Soul

Haiku 14/6

i turned in my feathers
for a crown, made milk and honey
gave myself the remedy, found

Lamb

Haiku 1/6

Hair color copper, palms fire
Kneeling for ransom freedom devoured by death
Holdin lambs in dreams, swim

Black Feet

Haiku 28/5

incense smoke prays for whispers
blanket lover is here, reaching for rain
my soles black feet, worn

5 am

I will never mind healing with you God, as long as you keep me smiling

Dancing yesterday in rehearsal I landed wrong
Strained my lower back muscles
(Meanwhile: listening to silence - healing)

It's 5am
(Meanwhile: reading the Bible)

My body fell into it's own demise
(Meanwhile: learning pain, from the fibers of my spine to the bone)

It's 5am
(Meanwhile: 9 pages later, my pain is constant)

(Meanwhile: The Black Madonna & Ethiopian Orthodox Church Walls)

The Healer...

Honeybird kiss no. 5
