Summer camp in Vermont. Equality of the races, Quakers and Baptist... MLK and the true meaning of Christianity. Learning from being judged and judging not.

What happens when a child believes something you abhor? What happens when hatred over powers reason? Whats a legal guardians responsibility when the legal guardian despises authority? Lots af angst and lots of healing...

After the LSD experience... what now? The life of the peace, love, freedom hippy isn't always what you might think. The Love isn't real, the peace is counterfeit and freedom is a lie considering the bondage of hatred carried in the heart of men.

So how does a 11 year old kid in 1969 come to take LSD? This is the part of my story that explains how this 11 year old came to take LSD. It was a trip within a trip. A holiday to change ones life. The summer 0f 69...
