Re: What Woke You?
Being raised by hippies that were connected to the earth. Raising animals drinking goats milk growing a massive garden you tend to be awake from the get go. So of my earliest memory's were all earth related. Hunting and fishing with grandpa all the time. I watched the grandparents make soap, butcher animals every weekend. When grandma wanted chicken for dinner she went out to the chicken house and got one chopping it's head on the block near the back door set it in a funnel to let it bleed. The dogs would come running to lick up the blood. It may sound gross to others but that is how it was.
In the seventy's when we got a Idiot box " my dad always called it that" we tried to be like all the other Americans. But, it did not feel good to me I wanted to be at grandmas house cooking, playing cards, or playing in the barn.
Children today are so far removed now from the life I lived.
I live with a inner peace from my early years.
