I can’t pass even the smallest fire without being drawn into it anymore – a few days ago I took a walk, and as I passed a house, I noticed a man sitting outside next to a tiny fire in a tiny fire pit – but it was fire! I suddenly realized that I’d stopped walking and had been staring at the fire for a few minutes :P Fire used to be just a simple way of generating heat/disposing of things, but now it is my creative spark and gathering place.

Before traveling to Burning Man, I had heard the term, but never truly understood what it meant. And as truth is told, one never could until you are the heart of Black Rock City, flames surrounding you, art cars moving past, groups of people gliding past each other, talking with excitement of watching an artist light their piece on fire, then being passed by bikes with riders lit with glow sticks, and one Darkwad.

Burners I believe share a close association with fire. I know that for me, a camp fire will never be same. Not after attending the burning of the Man on Saturday, and most definitely not after the burning of the Temple. For me, no fire will ever be the same again. Ever.
