The slightly insane hippy lady steps into her kitchen with an armful of herbs and leafy greens from the garden. Destiny, Starlight and Galaxy, three of her six children, were still in the garden, watering the special plants that their mother magically transforms into happy cigarettes. Hippy lady proceeds to make herself a health drink from the garden produce and frowns at the recollection of that rather rude tramp in the doorway who had refused her kind offer of a thermos of the same drink and one of her more special crystals. After all, the crystal would help to balance his karma and the drink was as healthy and cleansing as can be (he certainly smelled as if his bowels could do with a helping hand), but all that odd man did was mutter something about millenium hand and shrimp. In fact, that somewhat over-sexed cafe owner had muttered something about even "that shaggy-legged New Age whackjob" sounding sane compared to that tramp. Hippy lady wonders who that could be...
Great Earth Mother, it was almost time for her Womyn to Womyn Sisterhood Moonlight (even though it was 2:30 in the afternoon) Empowerment Coven with her friends from the old neighbourhood. Hippy lady was relieved that her friends had agreed to come here for their meeting. After what transpired in the old neighbourhood it was best that she kept herself away from the Negative Energy and Evil Spirits, not to mention the police chief. She said a quick, silent prayer that her past would not catch up with her in her new home. She would hate to have to leave when she'd only managed to Feng Shui a quarter of the house and the new school's truant officer hadn't even been around once yet. She took a deep, cleansing breath, lit an incense stick (or 12), put on a CD of whale mating calls and, and she relaxed, idly remembered that she had no idea where her other three children were. What were their names again?*
*Sure, why not? Suggestions for names for the other 3 kids are welcome. If I pick any names you suggest you'll get to be that child's whatever-the-hippy-equivalent-of-godparent-is. How's that for incentive?
