about me
I am not done learning, and never will be. To live is to learn, whether about yourself, people that you care about, or the things that surround you. I am looking for people who are passionate, intelligent, and are not afraid to take chances and experience life. You can find me playing volleyball at the beach, at Burning Man events and parties, spending sleepless nights talking to strangers and friends about the meaning of life or nothing at all, hanging out at the coffee shop, or just wondering about the city. And I often have my camera with me. Going to Burning Man and being a part of this community made me realized how much good there is in the world and especially in people, and how an open heart and mind can create wonders.
The divine manifestation is ubiquitous,
Only our eyes are not open to it. . . .
Awe is what moves us forward. . . .
Live from your own center. . . .
The divine lives within you.
The separateness apparent in the world is secondary.
Beyond the world of opposites is an unseen,
but experienced, unity and identity in us all.
Today the planet is the only proper “in group.”
Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world.
We cannot cure the world of sorrows,
but we can choose to live in joy.
You must return with the bliss and integrate it.
The return is seeing the radiance is everywhere.
The world is a match for us.
We are a match for the world.
The spirit is the bouquet of nature. . . .
Sanctify the place you are in.
Follow your bliss. . . .
~ Joseph Campbell ~
"But the man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less cocksure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable Mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend." - Aldous Huxley "The Doors of Perception"
“Liberation… the ending of sorrow, ceasing to be what you ignorantly think you are and becoming what you are in fact. For a little while, thanks to the moksha-medicine, you will know what its like to be what in fact you are, what in fact you always have been. What a timeless bliss! But, like everything else this timelessness is transient. Like everything else, it will pass. And when it has passed, what will you do with this experience? What will you do with all the other similar experiences that the moksha-medicine will bring you in the years to come? Will you merely enjoy them as you would enjoy an evening at the puppet show, and then go back to business as usual… Or, having glimpsed will you devote your lives to the business, not at all as usual, ob being what you are in fact? All that we older people can do with our teachings… is to provide you with the techniques and opportunities. And all that the moksha-medicine can do is give you a succession of beatific glimpses, an hour or two, every now and then, of enlightening and liberating grace. It remains for you to decide whether you’ll co-operate with the grace and take those opportunities.”
- Aldous Huxley, "The Island."
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"

I am writing to let my friends know about a bad experience at at recent party.
Went to a party on Saturday at 613 Imperial St, and was disappointing. The place was virtually empty. The flier said $20 at the door, but when we got there, they were charging $30. That's just dust dishonest, not to say anything about overcharging. We went in anyway. The music was ok, although the main room was way too loud and distorted. Most of the heat lamps were off, and the staff didn't seem to care when w...

Josh, whom I met at a dinner party last Sunday gave me a fascinating overview of Twitter. I am still not convinced, but decided to sign up nonetheless to challenge my pre-conceived notions about how stupid this is going to be.
If anyone is interested in it, there is a great article about it in NY Times - tr.im/16ju

This year I tried to spend extra time to take good picture. I took more than 1,000 total. I am posting the best 378 (yes, I know it's a lot). I only did the basic corrections, and plan to do some more editing in the near future.

The Oldest Man at Burning Man
Monday, Sep. 01, 2008 By JOSH QUITTNER
I bet my cousin, Irving Kofsky, was the oldest man at Burning Man this year. But Andie Grace, a spokesperson for the festival who keeps track of such things at the annual, week-long circus in the Nevada desert, said there's no way to know. "Among the old...
