Life moves so fast.
change. momentum. faster. faster.
the universe begs me to deepen. widen. breath bigger to hold more space. root more intensely into Earth to wary the storms.

They say the winds are wilder than ever this year. On the playa.
What a metaphor for this time in life. in history.
How does one stay solid in the storm?

preparedness. honkering down. of stuff. of self. of possessions. of heart.
Calling forth the reserves from the wee hour places in burnt out souls
as the midnight oil flames on and on, night after night,
sleepless and sunrises, awakening to the traffic outside the walls of home.

i am awed by the parallels. Burning man as a macro-macro cosm of life's lessons.
What is 'up" in life, looms large on playa.
Where is home? where is family? Survivual. Will i have enough? Will i BE enough?
Preparedness... for the revolution.
t'is hard to go it alone.
It takes a village.

Burning man as a microcosm for GLOBAL banjar.

Threading the pulse from Bali to Black Rock City--
another experiment in community.
another showing of what is possible.
of people from all over, coming together for a common purpose.
a celebraion.
a ceremony.

I am holding it as such.

For me this year, the playa is a ceremony.
I am journeying out to the desert for clensing.
for renewal.
to mark the beginning of a new phase.
In total freedom!!!!
to dance. and pray and pay homage to the earth mamma who sustains us.
To show up in the fullness of who i am and all my creative goddess prowess...

It takes a village to raise a child.
It takes a village--to heal the world.
It takes a village--to remember place, and seed a revolution.

Global banjar of bali... to black rock city....to earthdance and symbiosis....into hibernation and re-evalutaion.... then next stop Africa.
Exposures of community. can we string them together and pull the wisdom of all towards deeper knowing of what it is we want to create?

geez, how easy to get overwhelmed with the superficiality of playa prep. does anyone else feel the pressure??
this is a note: remember your feet on the ground. remember your intention for journey to mecca. remember your essence internal. Remember it's who you are and what you shine, not what you're wearing:), remember..

and have a safe journey to the Burn..
