A good first burn & six degrees of humification/insepera

[artifact81]

08 was my first year at Burning Man, and I had an awesome time. I was the one riding a yellowbike around in the dust-storms randomly screaming, "yeah gitcha some!" ..loved the dust-storms; they were a very humbling experience for many of us I am sure. No coincidence that dust is often the product of humus which shares the same root as humility, humanity, humane, and humanitarian. In fact, the word humification takes on new meaning in a dust storm: quite literally we were all being composted. I felt pretty.. grounded in the chaos, and I was very centered in the confusion of the storm as I am sure I gave out wrong directions repeatedly. Being physically, chemically, and psychologically eroded by the aeolian process made me realize what it is to be an essential part of this world: a humble humanitarian partially humified into the playa: Radical inclusion in its most broken down form: millions of our skin cells strewn throughout the alkaline laden dry lake bed in the Black Rock Desert. I would say self reliance in the dust meant letting go of those non-essential elements of your life and recognizing the importance of the real elements: dirt and wind. Much love and respect for those two.. many lessons were taught I am sure.

rite-o mate.. ..was that true that Spikes had human blood in the wine or was that just a rumor? I gave someone some and said that it might have blood in it after he had already drank some, and he got pissed off. I didn't care.. bloods fine with me.
