I have been to Black Rock City
and back, and after a gloriously long, steamy shower and a record
breaking 18-hour recovery slumber nap, I am still basking in my
post-burn glow.
For those who have yet to experience Burning Man,
it is hard to explain what this sweet beautiful journey is all about.
It’s different for everyone.
Burning Man is an annual event in Black Rock City, Nevada, where people
from all over the world come to celebrate art and life. Black Rock City
is built, maintained, and dismantled every year by volunteers who pay
admittance into the city and is also Nevada’s third largest city with
sixty sixty-thousand attendants in 2012.
For me, Burning Man is about letting go and “finding the ability to dream” … it is about human connectedness, radical self expression, participation. At every turn there are stunning displays of creativity, breathtaking artistry, inspiration, and ingenuity. Kindness and generosity and gifts of smiles amongst strangers abound, and the hugs! Burners really know how to hug.
