pandora_parrotAfter deciding, for SURE that I wasn't going to burning man...
I had a dream about it last night.
I went and I had an amazing time.
Sure, in the dream, I arrived late and left early. And I kept to myself a lot.
But it was so much fun, what I did do.
So today I bought a ticket.
I'm going.

I think you'll really enjoy it. It's not too hard to get away from people most of the time.
So... Only one important question remains. Will you bring the Go board or shall I? :)

Date: 2009-07-22 09:06 pm (UTC)I think however it's important not to sweep what we talked about under the rug; facing your anxieties head-on can be empowering but it can also take a lot out of you. Not to mention that anxieties aren't really rational to begin with...
...but it is also very possible to have low-key time to yourself on the edge of the playa which is still saturated in the beautiful Burning Man energy, too. :)
and yes: this was the plan all along. ;)

I've found that the energy from burner humans at BM is far less different from fae energy, compared to boring everyday humans. It is still human energy, but concentrated and distilled, from people who are unafraid to push their own limits and generally have the best to offer.

Date: 2009-07-23 04:44 am (UTC)The entire idea of Burning Man is decadence and a gift economy though. Those who have and can give are supposed to be generous to everyone else. It's pretty neat to watch really.
