Perfect Inspiration

Yesterday was a long day. A good long. Covered a lot of ground. There were many things that i thought about sharing here. But one takes the cake for the day.

i should preface this by saying that.... Only cakes made from good ingredients could even be considered for being taken in the first place.

Miss E and MyLMI and i went to see Saint Misbehavin' The Wavy Gravy Movie at the Roxie last night. Saint Misbehavin' is the movie about Wavy Gravy, his wife, and his life. You'll never see ads on this blog and i ain't gonna plug anything but goodness. This is goodness! And you need to see this movie! It will make you laugh. And it will seriously inspire you.

i first remember seeing Wavy in the spring of 1984 at a Dead show. i've seen him countless times since then at concerts and other events. He's memorialized on the SF Walk of Fame...

And i've known a little bit about some of the good he's into... Like Camp Winnarainbow. And keeping the hippie culture healthy. Something near and dear to my heart... :-)) But i didn't know about all the other stuff...

i have friends from the Hog Farm community, but i had no idea what it really is. i didn't know how they traveled around spreading acts of good and opening minds... Providing security at concerts. Feeding masses of people. And bringing the gift of sight to poor people all over the world through Seva. i'll have to make a point of asking them more about their experiences next time i see them.

Blessings unto the family and families of the Hog Farm community... For all of the good they cause to come into the lives of people all over this great planet. And for being that example of how a collective group of like-minded folks can really make a difference. Amen!

Thank you, Wavy and Jahanara, for your selfless sharing. Saint Misbehavin' really told a beautiful story about you and your community. i'm humbled to say, "i hope i honor each of your investments in facilitating goodness."

Oh... i know what you're thinking. And you're right... i have it, too. Acts of good toward and for my fellow man is very selfish on my part. It's better than drugs. It is a drug in and of itself. Doing good for my fellow humans stimulates the Whatever Protein in my metabolism that just makes all the Happy Neurons in my brain be their happiest. Can i patent that?

Skip Towne's Whatever Protein

If it was actually possible to sprinkle that substance on... Say, your breakfast cereal... Or put it in a smoothie. It would absolutely benefit humankind. You would get your jollies from it. No question about it. Random and intentional acts of goodness. Resulting in All-Way Happiness. Which, because that's the stimulant in the first place... Replicates and spreads like a disease in a horror film... Only everybody is smiling instead of terrified. You get the picture. Hopefully you were good at exponential calculations, at some point in your life, if you want to do the math. 'Cause this gets big! All over the planet!

Ladies and gentlemen... Seductresses and rogues... This hypothesis of self-replicating-regenerative-happiness, caused by benefiting humankind, needs to be proven!

Can i count on you to be part of the scientific study to prove whether this theory is valid?

If you are an unemployed scientist - Or group of scientists - Perhaps you could volunteer to participate in this study in some way. That's an interesting thought... Once the scientists figure out what the project is about... "Hey. I ain't gettin' paid much. I think it would be more fun to be the subject..." 

Hey everybody... Do something good every day! Find a way to see this movie!
