For all you over-the-hill hippies out there, today I re-read Baba Ram Dass's (Dr. Richard Alpert) "Be Here Now," the book that eased us through turbulent times.
Just as great in 2012 as it was in the early 70's, and just as valuable a lesson today. He re-wrote it for 'grown ups' as "The Only Dance There Is" and presented it to an audience of psychologists and psychiatrists with overwhelming acceptance. The man really did find an alternative path, even though he started out on the same road with Tim Leary as psych professors at Harvard. Leary stayed with LSD and Alpert turned to spiritualism. Both interesting. One was fun, the other valid and life affirming.
