You immediately felt at home there. This planet below your feet was yours to share. Morningstar Commune, (Morning Star Ranch, The Digger Farm), was an active open land counterculture commune in (Occidental) Sebastopol near San Francisco. Morningstar was part of the historical changing society of young adults in the 1960's that traveled back and forth between the Haight-Ashbury and Sebastopol. These flower children on these
external links below are not the painted portraits of ' Flower Children
' we see on television.

&Wheeler Folks Online
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense
of wonder,
he needs the companionship of at least one adult
who can share it,
rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and
mystery of the world we live in.

ego@morningstar
The delicate realm of being, wrapped
in ones skin.
Your careful to caress the emotions
of others.
To coax comfort.
To sway being across the mind.
The pleasant hello.
Swell the ego with love and comfort
and let them walk free.
Have a nice day.

An Open Commune
Morningstar was an open commune.
No one decided who could stay or go.
You immediately felt at home there.
This planet below your feet was
yours to share.
No one pointed at the rules. Freedom
was felt at the core of your being,
making you laugh and feel
delighted to be near another being.
The feeling one felt at Morningstar
was not lost though time.
It has carried an emotion of well
being in the hearts of all
who have felt the heart of an open
commune.
+
Morningstar was an open commune.
Without possessions, what is there
to worry about?
Without wealth, what is there to
worry about?
If the land is open, there is no
possession of land.
If you are bare with no possessions,
what is there to possess.
Is there any point to argue over
an object if you have nothing?
Simple being, simply being.
All you have are what your senses
see and feel.
A basic life style.
The feeling one felt at Morningstar
was not lost though time.
A Closed Commune
from Time Magazine
Part of the hippie ethic that evolved
during the '60s was a communal warmth, the idea of an open and sharing
brotherhood. But sometimes there just isn't enough to share. The 2,500
hippies who live in 16 pastoral communes around Taos, N. Mex., have begun
slamming doors on newcomers. "When a transient arrives looking for a place
to crash," says one communard, "we send him to a motel. We aren't even
telling him how to get to the communes."
Already the communes are in sullen �and occasionally violent�conflict with the Taosenos. The prospect of a spring and summer invasion of new hippies has prompted local residents to form vigilante groups. Besides, an abnormally light winter snowfall ensures water shortages for the summer. Commune crops will be scarce. "If those kids show up here this summer," says one member of a commune in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, "we'll be the straights. We'll throw them out."
