the strangest thing that happened to me at burning man:

i was sitting in center camp and it was 4 am, well, from 2 something until 4 am. part of the time, about an hour, i was alone while my partner was in coffee line. it was cold, it was early, i was tired. i was sitting there when this short lady came by and asked me if i was needing the second chair infront of me. i said my partner was using it. she found another chair and came back and asked if she could use the table next to me.

i am not sure why she wanted my chair, or the table next to me.

she sat there and gave this one guy a tarot reading. they had conflict. he was looking for inner wisdom and guidance, but he had not patience and was not really quiet enough to listen, hear or learn. it was almost comical to watch. he was reaching for the cards when not appropriate, flipping too many over. spacegirl was patient and kind. i could feel her energy working not to get riled. trying to let him be who he was. she knew that being upset was nothing good nor worthwhile. he left and no one else came up while we were sitting there.

i had been a touch defensive when i was keeping my partners chair, and i could feel her pondering me. wondering something about me. maybe she saw into me too. maybe she was wondering who i was.

i looked over to her and acknowledged her, met her eyes, gave her my name. we spoke and engaged each other. her eyes were so direct, she was so present. i wanted to admit things to her. i did not. i could have. she is special - she knows it.

she reached out and touched me, i am not sure why. maybe it was a reflection or a rememberance. she felt famlliar. she is kind. i will not forget spacegirl.
