virgin no longer

Post by FierceHeart » Fri Oct 08, 2010 8:48 am

Hello everyone, 2010 was my first burn and I can't wait to go back. Or maybe I'll never go back. I think I now have a love/hate relationship with the playa. It is a place of extremes, but I can be a person of extremes, and I'm just coming to grips with that aspect of who I am. Burning Man taught me so much about myself yet I didn't always like what I learned. But there is always time to grow, and change, and hence I'm inspired by next year's art theme: Rites of Passage. As an ex-Catholic, I have deep understanding of the power of rituals, and I both reject the need for yet somehow crave these outwards signs of inner transformation.

Hi Tom, thanks for the welcome! Love your sig: "anything worth doing..is worth overdoing" and have you heard this one:

"If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough." (Mario Andretti)

Yes I'll be at decompression on Sunday, thinking about it was what reminded me to join this board. Let's hope for good weather.

I must be going fast enough. I hope the weather holds out till Sunday. But then if it rains, I won't have to clean the playa dust off my boots!

ok, ok--I'll give a welcome too.
The playa is a tricky place and is can be a real love/hate experience. Based on what you said, you WILL be back for 2011!
Welcome to the boards, kick your shoes off and stick around a while!
