Thanks for posting the Dusty Couple pic above. I am the guy with the funky shoes I made in the pic with Kelly G. We had just met in a dust storm by the Man at sunset and became instant friends who have been in touch off the playa. I love the caption that reads:

“Dust is only a name for what happens when matter begins to understand itself”
– Phillip Pullman

I’d like to add that burningman is a place where we come away feeling humbled and inspired.

No religion is “Cool”. it is all dogma. The only truth is from dust we came to dust we will all return!

The best part of the dust is that some time later, in January, February, March you will pull something out of a closet and it will smell like playa and you will be in heaven.
Somehow, the washing machine can never get rid of that smell and I for one, am grateful.

i love the idea that once you embrace the dust, you become immune to it. there’s a deeper lesson in there somewhere.

I lost my green and white disposable camera on the playa on Fri when I was in the bike parade. The camera is not valuable, but the photo’s I took with my family are priceless to me. Hope someone finds it and we can connect. Thanks

Thank you so much for sharing. Lovely contribution for those of us that could not attend in physical form. But we were there through the net.

the guy above reminds me of Islamic prayer, although the hands are not quite right and he does not appear to be facing east/southeast toward Mecca. or maybe he is. Or maybe whatever. Islam is a very cool religion that seems to get a bad rap in this country. It is very organized and has a beautiful prayer ritual. The gesticulating combined with the chanting allows for a concentration and singleness of purpose that helps funnel the meditative mind towards the Holy. Or maybe that is way too deep and/or nonsensical. I obviously should be on the playa instead of watching the torrential rains at home. Appreciate the pics immensely. Keepem coming. ciao
