Now that is my kind of limo!!!




"You are either on the bus or off the bus."
- Ken Kesey



This group consciousness was very important to the Pranksters. The idea was to put individual differences aside and work as a group...an attuned group. Those who weren't attuned were seen as rocking the boat, disrupting the trip. These were the people who were considered "off the bus." The ones who were attuned to the group consciousness, those who did their share of the work, and smile rather than pout, these were the ones who were "on the bus." Thus, the literal meaning of "You are either on the bus or off the bus" is "You are either attuned to the group consciousness or you are not attuned to the group consciousness." Well, isn't that groovy?
......I loved that description above.
I guess they don't have a "herd of dumb, driven cattle mentality"......eh.

mystery

Rainbow at Findley State Park last week....beautiful.....ehh?? Love, Michele

The answer is never the answer.
What's really interesting is the mystery.
If you seek the mystery instead of the answer,
you'll always be seeking.
I've never seen anybody really find the answer -- they think they have,
so they stop thinking.
But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery,
plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom.
The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.
