That is such a sweet recollection of magical memories, Tim. We had so many fine times there (I attended all 25 festivals). So many times I'd be walking around the festival site in the golden afternoon Sun, deeply drinking in not just the inestimable beauty of such a place, but also the precious, transient nature of it all. I knew it all would end someday, and along with a twinge of sadness I felt such gratitude that we got to do it as long as we did.
How fortunate we were to all co-create 25 of these little temporary bubbles of musical and communal bliss. Many thanks to Cloud Moss, along with Utah Philips and Wavy Gravy (and so many others!) for creating and nurturing that vision. And thanks Tim, for such a beautifully written piece, for capturing all those fireflies in a bottle, and letting them out to flicker forever, like stars in the night sky...
As Utah Phillips said about Kate - She was an excellent human being, her music was a bonus. Having been to all 25 of the Festivals they showed the formation of a beautiful community that shared space & music in a nurturing joyful outdoor environment.
I knew Kate for almost 6 years & lived with her for 4 1/2 initially meeting her thru her music that is filled with many aspects of life.
Meeting so many beautiful people, conversations & music at these gatherings will always be with me and Kate’s kind spirit never left

Psyched for the two new festivals on the property. Next up is The Days Between! www.daysbetweenfest.com.
We went as vendors last year, it was amazing! This year will be even more so!

Absolutely Beautiful Tim❣️ Thank you. When I lived in Berkeley in the late 60's early 70’s, it felt just like…all was right with the world.
Of course, that was Berkeley.
I never saw Kate Wolf perform either, but still have her music book for guitar. Tho haven’t picked that up in a very long time.
I've been walking, in my sleep . . .
