I’ve always wanted to go to Burning Man to do exactly as you have done. Not so much in the way of making a voodoo doll, but to come to terms with what’s really keeping me from happiness. And The Playa seems to be a great place to look when people need to find themselves.
I’m sorry you’ve had so many men walk out on you. You’ve carried the burden of all those bad experiences for too long. I sincerely hope that in the very near future you find the man who will dance with you all day and rub your feet at night.

This story was refreshing, heart breaking and amazing! I think it’s time you set Mike under the Man and watch him burn away! Burn away your past and wake up and live and love like there’s no tomorrow. Learn for past, but don’t live in your past. Break the chains and quick lugging him around! Make a new Mike every year and burn him away w/ the sorrow and hurt. Just take the love away from the experience and enjoy your new found life!

Love and Light to you Green Monkey!

I am so happy for you to have found this way of healing!!

Trimble, I have good news for you. I learned how to heal herpes at Burning Man, and you can too. Since I was 14, I would get a ‘blemish’ on my lip every Fall and Spring. In my twenties, this started to get VERY annoying. I tried all sorts of things, including anti-virals from med companies. Nothing worked. In 2011, I caught a presentation by Paul Stamets up in Black Rock City. He detailed how medicinal mushrooms can help us fight off the very worst of cancers, viruses, fungi and bacteria.
I looked into what types were most anti-viral, took a “medicinal dose” of them for 6 weeks, and I HAVE NOT HAD A BLEMISH SINCE! Please, take a look at my site – I wrote an article all about this. It’s been almost an entire year now, and I’ve felt the herps try to come back maybe 3 or 4 times now, each time it’s disappeared without even becoming a sore in about 24 hours.

Good luck to you. I think it is much more important that you found yourself. Finding others is great, but a healthy SELF is the clue. I was probably the oldest (according to others) man on the playa in 2007. I’m now 89. The dust was tough on me but I had the advantage of sleeping in an air conditioned trailer belonging to a friend. A special reward was that David Best took me on a tour through his area where his Temple was being constructed. I lived in the Bookmobile camp with friends. I’m a “friend of Bill” if you know what that means. If not, look at my website to see info about my book which I published last year.

I wish for you continued good health, from a fellow ‘New Englander’.

Thank you for sharing. Me and my wife will be the newbies at the playa this year. I trust we will find what we need there. I hope you will be able to build your inner Playa that you can turn to whenever you need it so you don’t have to wait a whole year. You were not an orphan; you arrived in another stage of your life were he could no longer help you. Be thankful for what he gave you; with leaving you he pushed you to where you are now. See ya on the playa!
