Thanks Amos and all -

Did you notice the pic called 'navels'? Looks just like the girls today!

Loved the pictures of Taj Mahal! Also thought the pixelated photos of Jimi actually captured his essence.

The protest pictures show what we were willing to risk in those days. Up to a point, I guess. For me, the point was that I became a mother and could not risk jail. I no longer have that excuse. Whats your excuse?

To be fair, I think that none of us want to be out there without numbers to support us. In those days, we were all out there and we had strength. Today, nobody trusts anybody else and nobody has the courage to go it alone. How did we get so strong at such a young age? I'm amazed at how brazen we were. Bold and brazen and born to be free.
