my kids ask, “mom did you ever try drugs?”
and i don’t know what I am supposed to say.
when I was in college, taking 21 units and not knowing what i wanted to be when i grew up, i took acid one night. reason? i don't know. the moon was full.
we didn’t call it taking drugs. we were just young people seeking a spiritual experience. so my inspiration from that experience was, quit school and go to hawaii-i went to a place i had heard about called taylor camp. this was the story that was told to me- elizabeth taylor’s brother owned this amazing piece of land on the north shore of kauai. the government wouldn’t let him develop it, so in a kind of...you know! to the government, he gave it to a bunch of hippies who took it over. it wasn't a commune. everyone was pretty much self- sufficient. there was an amazing little store there, which had mangoes and avocados for sale and there were gardens everywhere and outdoor showers. everyone who lived there changed their name. there was hawk and feather, bobo and star and i was rainbow.
the people who lived there designed and built these amazingly, beautiful bamboo homes on stilts. to acquire one, an owner simply passed it on when they moved on. that's how i got my tree house!
