"When you dance to your own
rhythm, people may not under-
stand you; they may even hate
you, but mostly they'll wish they
had the courage to do the same."
My Gypsy Hippie Soul
I so love the eccentrics of this
world, and especially those who
have appeared in my life. My
own father was an eccentric . . .
phenomenal man!
I find it so interesting that there
are those who long to belong to
the cookie cutter bunch and those
who would do anything at all not
to be seen as the same.
Having broached this subject many
times before, I ask myself, "What
is the attraction?" And, I believe
'tis courage in action! It is easier to
follow the crowd; make no mistake.
To be the local eccentric cannot be
easy. It takes a brave soul to face a
classroom of peers, a congregation
of criticism, the worry of parents.
No matter where we each fall on
the scale of cookie cutter to odd,
we must learn to accept each other
on our own paths . . .
