" ... Fun at Food Circle

 

We finally found an uncontested spot and set up quickly near the Yoga

Camp, where kundalini yoga was practiced at various intervals

throughout the day. It had been a full hour since we had arrived and

dusk was approaching; our stomachs were growling, and we were

pessimistic about our chances of finding dinner. Further complicating

the matter was the fact that we had brought no dishes ( " Oh, but you

have to have dishes — didn't anyone tell you that? " the unhelpful

information lady had told us as we were taking down our misplaced

tent.) I quickly emptied a can of mixed nuts into a plastic bag and

grabbed a plastic spoon we had happened to pick up at a restaurant on

the road, and we made our way to the Main Circle, where, like an angel

of mercy, a young dreadlocked man crouched on the gravel bar with an

industrial-sized steel pot and scooped out a mess of rice and

vegetables to hungry passersby. This formless mixture had no name — " I

don't know. Hippie food? " the young man conjectured as he filled our

nut can — but after a long day on the road and an arduous hike, it

tasted like heaven.

 

We finished our nut-can of hippie food and rested our weary bones,

then set out to explore. There was Kiddie Village, where food was

served all day long and the outdoor toilet was blessedly private,

surrounded on three sides by a tarp; the Warriors of the Light

kitchen, which was serving " zuzus " — the Rainbow name for sweets, but

in this case, deep-fried batter filled with chocolate and dried

cranberries; and the Pirate Kitchen, festooned with sails and flags

and serving Scurvy Stew.

 

A little rain on the rainbow

 

" It's going to be a spiritual experience, " my daughter tried to

prepare me before I went in. I wasn't quite sure what she meant at the

time, but as I began to experience the sorts of tribulations that test

the human soul, I began to understand.

 

It would be remiss on my part to ignore the dreary underside of the

Rainbow Gathering — but plainly it's not possible to assemble 30,000

people in a forest and not have some problems. This year, the problem

was the rain... "
