Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others…for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.

It will make total sense to have a threesome with your significant other and someone in an enormous rabbit costume at the Burn; in reality the ears get caught in the ceiling fan.

Why isn’t any major news outlet covering this?” he asked. “If that’s a tea party protest in front of Wall Street about Ben Bernanke putting stimulus funds into it, it’s the lead story on every network news cast. How is that disconnect possible in this country today with so many different outlets and so many different ways of transmitting news?

For reasons that are hard to fully explain—if you’ve witnessed the phenomenon you know this is true—shirtcocking is disquieting to the observer’s soul. Visually disturbing to an extreme degree. People at Burning Man are so averse to shirtcocking that I saw several posted signs vehemently denouncing the practice. And yet there were shirtcockers.

Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive—the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Report from the Playa – 2011
05 SEP 2011 – 05:16 PDT – Gate Road, Black Rock City
In 2010, I couldn’t wait to leave the playa to get relief from my stinging hands — though I also knew I’d be back for more. Now in 2011, idling in the queue to exit, I have a longing to stay. I felt comfortable here this week, and I’m afraid that I’m developing a strong sense of home for this place.
Standing in the crowd after the Temple burn last night, I was trying to puzzle it out. To figure out in my head space why, among all the diverse cacophony, I felt as if I knew all of these people. Realizing my folly in venturing into head space, I’m content to sink back into heart space and simply smile. Smile in recognition of the unity that makes us one.
