75, long white hair, skinny as rail - today over a tofu salad I witnessed a real-deal old hippie holding court with a young, wanna-be hippie. It was a sight to behold, and a surprising reminder of the things that matter.

As some in society slide into an abyss of debasement, take heart, you are not crazy.
Stand tall, keep moving forward, take heart that your eyes are on the things that matter and when the embers stop glowing, flowers will arise.
