I went to Burning Man just once, six years ago.

All I can say is there are singular places and moments in all our lives, when that which has been forever trying to form in our mind's eye gathers verifiable and undeniable solidity. Simply for having seen and touched, we are never the same after that.

It happened to me there.

I wish I were able to say "Go to Burning Man..." to anyone in need of a spiritual epiphany, and believe they would actually FIND there, as I FOUND. But I know better than to try to "prescribe" a miracle of enlightenment for anyone.

I will say this, though: "If you EVER find yourself in the company of a person who seems to be more than considering the idea of going to Burning Man, and more than considering the idea of YOU going with them, at a time when you, yourself, are in a place of sufficient whimsy, detachment from responsibility, and preparedness for change in your OWN life to possibly go -- then fucking GO!"

Very well said. It can change your life it you let it. (I've written about this each year at www.lustmonkey.com/taleindex.htm)
