When Jerry Garcia passed away 31 years ago, the Grateful Dead and all of us Deadheads stopped in our tracks. It’s never been the same without him. This year, Bob Weir exited this earthly realm, too, joining Donna Godchaux, Brett Midland, Pig Pen, Phil Lesh, and Keith Godchaux.
Those of us who were able to see them live are all blessed with our memories. Their hippie dreams of communal living, back to the land, and higher consciousness continue. Whether we continue to listen to their music or those who cover the Grateful Dead, the music is alive in all of us.
What inspired your dreams of higher consciousness? How do you keep that dream alive? Ki to Happiness thanks all the hippies who caused a social revolution for us all to enjoy greater freedom and with it, greater responsibility for our choices.
