Wow. I don’t know what made this year so incredible. Was it the great weather, great visit with great old friends, great music and art, the great new bathrooms, the great 4QF members, the great people from Gaian Mind and other collectives that did such a great job putting this together, the great people that showed up this year to attend, the keg of great beer that we had finished off by Saturday afternoon? This year was an even greater time than all of these great things combined. A truly blessed event. I remember walking thru the grounds Saturday afternoon and seeing people sitting out in the grass chatting with friends, reading, relaxing, playing with the kids. So peaceful, so blissful, a temporary Utopian society.

I didn’t want it to end this year. 5 days wasn’t enough. It was all too perfect. I feel like I didn’t have enough time to go to enough workshops, listen to enough music acts, visit with friends enough, and meet enough new friends. The whole event was inspiring. It pulled me out of the rut of my daily reality that had been really starting to get to me. Showed me that life and society is what we create. It brought an abrupt end to the cloud of depression that has been building over me for the past few month and gave me hope and anticipation for the so many great things yet to come.
