couple folks emailed me to ask about my favorite bman moment
thought you might like to hear:

AS ALWAYS
THERE WERE TOO MANY FAVORITE MOMENTS
TO PICK JUST ONE
JUST MAKING IT THERE THIS YEAR WAS A CHALLENGE & A CELEBRATION...AS THE MORNING OF THE DAY I LEFT I HAD NO TICKET OR GAS MONEY NEVER MIND FOOD...

BUT ONE THING WAS THE TEMPLE BURN TOOK A REALLY LONG TIME TO FALL DOWN & SO THE SILENCE WAS LONG TOO
I LOVE THAT...

I HAD BEEN GIVEN A LITTLE PROSPERITY CONSCIOUSNESS HOMEWORK JUST BEFORE I LEFT L.A. BY THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I JUST MET WHO IS CLOSE TO AN ELEVEN ON THE SCALE OF 1 TO 10
THE HOMEWORK WAS TO WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING I WAS AFRAID OF ON A PEICE OF PAPER & THEN BURN IT...SHE DIDNT KNOW I WAS GOING TO BURNING MAN...
INSTEAD OF A PEICE OF PAPER I WROTE IT ON THE TEMPLE...EVERYDAY I'D GO THERE FOR A WHILE & WRITE DOWN WHATEVER HAD COME TO ME OF WHAT I WAS AFRAID OF
SO WHEN SUNDAY NIGHT CAME I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TEMPLE GOING POOF...
THIS WRITING EXERCISE WAS QUITE AN EDUCATION IN SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME THE BASIC BLUEPRINT FOR MY LIFE & BEING...IN LARGE PART MADE UP OF ALL THESE THINGS IVE BEEN AFRAID OF WITHOUT TELLING ME...

THERE WAS A MOMENT WHEN THE MAN FELL ON SATURDAY NIGHT THAT SENT THIS GREAT BRIGHT CLOUD OF EMBERS DANCING RIGHT OVERHEAD
& JUST THEN THIS BROTHER I'VE KNOWN FROM RAINBOW GATHERINGS FOR YEARS & WHO I SAW AT THE GATHERING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER IN WYOMING STOPPED ME AS I WAS WALKING BY RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT
& WE STOOD THERE WITH OUR ARMS OVER ONE ANOTHERS SHOULDERS LEANING BACK TO STARE STRAIGHT UP
& WE BOTH SAID WOW AT THE SAME TIME IN THAT LITTLE KID WONDER WAY AS THE EMBERS LOOKED LIKE THE STARS OF THE UNIVERSE DANCING...

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE BOOK END MOMENTS TO OUR SUMMERS...THAT I THINK WE BOTH FELT WHAT A GIFT IT IS TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY SUCH A FRIENDSHIP... WE LOOKED AT ONE ANOTHER JUST LAUGHED...
LIFE IS GOOD...
THANKS FOR ASKING...
