Temple Burn

It has taken me this long to wade through what I went through and continue to go through after this years playa adventure. I still cannot completely comprehend all of my feelings but will try my best to sum it up a little.
The whole experience of Basura Sagrada was a journey for me. I was at a time in my life where I was floating. This project landed on my lap so to speak and it was exactly what I needed to evolve to where I am now.
In my position as volunteer coordinator I had the privilege of speaking with hundreds of people that the temple already touch without even us painting one dot. Through out this whole process I have a expanded base of friends that I call family. Everyone of you has touched my life in a deep way no matter how little contact we had. A few of the all stars: Medina, Shira,Candice, Brent, Tucker, Andrew. Dr Wunderlich,Shrine, Genevive, Brando, Big JIm,Edward, Jessica, Matt, Linda,Patrick, Doug Sinclair, Matt (crane operator), Sean, Nikki,Kelsey, Foxy,Gabe, Jack, Guilia, Josh,Tim, Victoria, The whole groove bomb crew, I know there is more but thats all that comes to mind right now, plus everyone who gave me coffee when I needed it so.
Doug Sinclair told me that I had wings, bright blue wings and even though I could not feel them I will someday because they are a apart of me. So many people looked at through those eyes this year, I had wings to many and by the end of Burning Man I was beginning to see them myself.
This year was extemely difficult. I worked the whole time, whether DPW or the temple I was so quiet. I did not see any art, nor did I see any friends besides the ones I was camped with. But I made over a 100 new friends through out my time there.
I laughed and I cried, died and was reborn again. I know what direction I want to take in my life and have the vision to take it. As Medina said the bar has been raised. I want to create and provide to the community that I call home.
When I returned from the playa I entered into a state of confusion about what to do next, I then realized that it is up to me to create something new, to put that energy out that I want for my next project. The sadness lingers still for I miss my new family terribly.
I'm still not entirely clear where I will go from here, it is still vauge but getting clearer.
I did learn that I am strong and I do have worth and that is something that I will never forget.

Playa Bound

I'm on my way to Gerlach today, working for the Temple and DPW
30 days of dust, I've never been out there that long before
SOOOO We are thinking of either camping behind Nexus or in or around Temple camp
not sure yet but we'll be around those camps regardless so you'll be able to find us
see you in the dust!!!!!!!

Dust Bound

I leave on Tuesday for the playa
It's been a journey to this place, a beautiful one at that. I was at American Steel this weekend for my last work weekend for the temple at the warehouse. It's going to be such a change to see it being assembled on playa. All the pieces that we sat on the dirty, dirty floor for hours patiently painting dots upon dots is all going to be worth it. As I drove my car away this morning heading back to Santa Cruz knowing that this was the last time I would be at American Steel in this capacity a tear started to form, then another. I cannot express in words how beautiful and amazing this project has been for me.
I've grown closer to existing friends and made new ones, I've learned a lot more about what I want in my life, and I've grown as a person. plus I learned how to drive s tick shift (thanks Big Jim!)
So I'll see you all in the dust, if you get this in the next couple of days send me the details on where you are camping! And please, please come see the temple. It's a labor of love on all parts.
Brandon and I will be somewhere around or in temple camp, so look for us there. I'm sure we'll be at nexus a great deal too.
love,
stars,
and
all
that
To the crew of Basura Sagrada
I love you all with all my heart
You are part of what makes
this world beautiful

My Computer Crashed

yes
right at critical time in my life my laptop goes south
it's at the computer doctor right now awaiting assessment
If you know anyone thats a mac genius, send them my way
I'm hoping to fix this for cheaper than they tell me
I gots lots of projects on my plate including the Temple (I leave in 3 weeks!!) If I could get my trusty lady back soon it would save my world

I Need Work!!!!

It's getting crunch time before Burning Man and I need to try and make some extra $$$ before I leave August 5th!!!!
I'm a nanny now, in the past I worked in restaurants, offices, salons, garden, cleaning houses.
I'm also experienced in catering and special events production
I'm not looking for long term work, just something to make some quick cash!
I live in Santa Cruz and would prefer to find work locally. If you know of anything let me know!

Kittens!!!! Need Homes

Do you live in Santa Cruz and wishing that you had a cute,snuggly little kitten to add to your home??? Well look no further! We have 3 adorable kittens that need good homes here at the Rose Farm. We would keep them but we have too many animals already.
There are 2 orange ones and one gray and white one, I think they are about 7 weeks old now and ready to go to a good home. If you are interested let me know, I can try and get a picture of them as well if you want to see what they look like. I'd like to keep them in the family so I know they have good homes but if you know someone that would be a rockstar kitty parent that could be fine as well.

Basura Sagrada @ Raindance Campout

Have you been wanting to help with the temple this year at Burning Man but haven't gotten around to making it to Oakland to work in the warehouse?
Do you happen to be going to the Raindance campout?
Well you chance is here, we will be setting up a tent with information about the temple plus material donation station that needs volunteers to be there and give out information. We will only have it open on Friday and Saturday during the day.
If you are interested please email me at palinor.rising@gmail.com
