I actually had two ZEN moments much to my surprise, and TYVM.

My first was when UM & SCI were playing their Cohesion Jam. As that song played out, I thought about all of the hard work we had put into getting us there. All the shit talking to ALL of my friends on how much fun Lockn was, & we were finally on the farm again. A full year of shit talking on here...It was bliss knowing I was there with all you frickin hippies out there somewhere in the crowd. The anticipation of the days & fun times ahead, and the music just melted my heart. I did shed a tear of joy. One of my two Zen moments....
Peace hippies,

I was at complete peace sitting with my wife at Holly Bowling's set. The peace of her playing, with the forest, folks in hammocks in the trees, sipping coffee as we shook off the groggy... it was just perfect.

I'd have to say that mine occurred during the finale "I Shall Be Released". The memories of the music and fellowship that I experienced over the last four days and the realization that this was it, it was soon to be over. What a great ride it had been! I'll have to admit, I shed a tear or two...

I had several throughout the weekend but one that comes to mind came during Fogerty (FYI this post may come close to breaking a few rules so feel free to delete and reprimand me with a scathing PM if need be). I remember watching all the patriotic/amurrica imagery (the Brad Paisley Budweiser commercial/veterans song not withstanding) and listening to the music thinking about just how divided and fucked things are in our country now. I just had this overwhelming thought that while the country is ripping itself apart Fogerty's music is distinctly American and that particular moment could unify and bring everyone onto common ground around the same things we're killing each other over.

I also had a similar reaction to TOO's during I shall be released

and lastly, just seeing Phil and Bob on stage together again brought back so many good memories.

It is difficult to describe the feeling when the crowd watching Holly Bowling whisper sang the lyrics to Terrapin Station. Everyone slightly louder than just mouthing the words but trying not to overwhelm her solo piano. It was like a vocal version of the golf clap.

When my friend all put our arms around each other and sang "who'll stop the rain during John fogerty. That was such an amazing set for my friends and I. Also when I was just dancing my ass of to Tauk by with my one of a kind friend Demtrious.

Panic playing "Chilly Water" and hanging with my Raleigh LocknForum friend.

Standing with the Greatest friend when "I shall be Released" was played. This one stuck with me. Like a time I was rolling to a DEADCo show with another great friend and "Rubin and Cherise" came on at the right moment.

I had a few very grateful moments... Hanging out with all of you for starters. But what really made me smile was people who came up to me in the field and stopped to dance with me. This was my first year actually stuck in a wheelchair and I almost didn't come for that reason. It lifted my heart and spirits when strangers stopped to smile and dance with me...

People can you feel it? Love is everywhere!

I had a zen moment when I realized that the reason my glasses were crushed was because I had hugged so many people so hard. But the real thing for me was sitting in camp Fri morning with my friend and co conspirator Hoey. Camp was coming to life and breakfast was being cooked and drinks were being poured and folks were yawning, stretching and shaking off the first day. It was amazing and we looked at each other and I said "Look what we did." The feeling was indescribable. It was like seeing your child accomplish something that was outside of their grasp but that they struggled to achieve and succeeded. Immense pride, love, empathy and compassion. All accompanied with a banging Bloody Mary.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What happens if I take both?
