At a local thrift store a couple of yearss ago, I noticed a half dozen copies of Hermann Hesse's novel, Siddhartha.....and dozens of books on Vegan/Vegetarian cooking......This morning, PBS broadcast a program about the fashionability of Youth, in passive revolt, attaching their sentiments to retro-hippy, naturopathic Altruism, ambiguous sexuality, 'cosmic consciousness', reflective introspection and energy realignments....... I thought of the 'failed' temporary shift of perspectives that millions of then "20-somethings' clung to...with the exuberance of unity of shared vision....to the background chords of Ravi Shankar, Donovan and Alice Coltrane, the droning mantra of 'Give Peace A Chance' and the nakedness of Love.....yet, welcome a great Wave of Change, not yet restrained by pessimism and futility.......
