Pat

I am truly intrigued at what you write. You seem to have found the living in life or the life in living.

To be honest, I am somewhat jealous of your escapades.

I am in Cape Town right now and hope to be back in Miami just before Christmas or should I say

closer to Chanukkah.

Best Regards

Ricardo

Adrenachrome, Spoken like a true Burner. My motor lounge still has the scent of playa dust in it. I hope to see you there. Pat

Wow, great video! It awakened a burning desire to be at Black Rock City again this year. I got to go with some amazing people in 2007, and there’s an ache in me now that can only be filled by being among my fellow Burners. I even miss the alkali dust in my eyes…

Interesting, to me the focus of BM appears to be the value of being there. It’s not only about something happening to you, but more about participating… BM proves one thing, that things are temporary and the power of something can happen, burst and go away.

Tish – Right On! I have traveled plenty and come to realize that Black Rock City (home of the Burning Man Festival) is my favorite city. Of course, it only exists officially for seven days out of the year. It is a hard place to leave. But we all know our way back home when the time comes

You are so right about the Burning Man experience teaching us to not only be non possessive about material things but more importantly people. Like life, meeting and sharing with people should be free flowing. Burning Man really teaches this lesson.

Best wishes for taking the burning man spirit with you to Argentina and making it a great adventure for you and those around you!

Hello There,

Very nice website and pictures. Thank you for sharing your story. This year was my 8th year in a row at BM. What I got this year is clearly I am happiest while attending BM. When I leave I use to feel sad and even cried driving home to the regular life. Then thank God because others felt the same way we have community after BM, get togethers which nuture in a way the feeling of community of BM.

I think this is societies big issue. We are seperated from our core instinct to connect with other humans. I know this is why many people do not make it as couples. They are to isolated together, they forget to merge with other humans and connect with new people. Couples become stagnate and bord with each other and sadly fall apart only to repeat the same demise. BM wakes us up to the fact there are other interesting folks on the planet. I have done burningman single and with a soulmate. It was great both ways. This year I would run into my ex everywhere and we would just smile and hug each other. He would tell me where cool things where happening and we would hang out in local Tahoe camps where we now know tons of people compaired to only knowing a small handful when we were together. Once we split up we expanded as humans. Interesting I think. Now I know any future relationship are born of a community spirit where new people are always being introduced and expanding the circle. This was my realization this year. Three cheers for love and community.

I am on my way to Argentina next week to live on a 110,000 acre working ranch, perma-culture, and sustainable living community. No more living alone serperated from humans for me. I think it is the wave of the future for Burners and the like. Check it out http://www.ranquilco

Much love and friendship. Tish
