hippie (hippy?) thought of the day

well, it's a thought of the day that was a day that was a couple of months ago.

oh, and i don't know if there's actually a proper way to spell 'hippie'. i prefer the 'ie' version, cuz the other version just makes me think of pear-bummed people.

anyhoo, i was on a hike a couple of months ago (not anywhere too exciting...but it's exciting enough that if you have access to a car, you can get the hell out of toronto and into some pretty scenery within a very short period of time).

as i walked through the forest, feeling heady from the fresh air and the first REAL day of warmth and sun and bare legs, the most stoner-rific - but still, like, TRUE, man - thing i have ever thought stopped being a thought and became something i said to my 2 hiking companions.


'so, you know how pretty much everything gets older, and as it gets older, it gets weaker and weaker, decays, then dies? And that's how almost all living things go? well, what about TREES, man? (*the 'man' might just be something i'm throwing in now to make me sound more stoner-rific*) the older they get, the stronger and more beautiful they become. just go to northern california or b.c. and check it out. that's pretty trippy (*once again, 'trippy' may be for comedic effect*).'



some trees even get so strong and beautiful that they grow their own wangs. groovy.
