My sweetheart created this sunburst quilt of color for me recently. What if I had gotten this quilt from her back when I drove my Chevy van across country in September 1967? On the side of my van I drew a sign which scrolled--The Mystical Hippopotamus.:-)
I got my first draft notice when I was living in Haight-Ashbury in February, had dropped out of Long Beach State where I was working on a degree in Creative Writing.
As a conscientious objector to war, that fall I headed for Philadelphia to work in a mental hospital with emotionally disturbed teens and children.
Long ago, and far away.
Living in the brilliant Light of Beauty,

This is absolutely stunning. Your work is beautiful!
Hello Debra,
Thanks. I'll relay your comment to my sweetheart.
She's already finished another quilt, a Disney one for our 6-year-old granddaughter.
