Bon Voyage!

Pyramid Lake, Nevada

To all my loves who are packing up and heading to that big, dusty dinner plate in Nevada for Burning Man,

Be well and safe. Revel. Unhook from your cares. Bounce around, shake your body. Cry a little. Use sunblock. Question everything. Rest and HYDRATE. Celebrate; it is YOUR TIME. Make love. Experience a whole solar day, dawn to dusk. Meet new friends. Be funny; be also kind. Ruminate. Shout really loud. Take naps. Eat some. Waltz in your stompy black boots. Pedal your bike as fast as you can. Leave no trace. Climb something big. Set something on fire. Take care of people. Stay up all night. Feel connected and FREE. Say yes.

Yes, I’m feeling sad I can’t be with you. Yes, this is a corny, romantic sendoff. Yes.

    Thank you for these words. After today’s excitement, I needed to be reminded of the WHY. Just say yes. I love you.

    you make the Burn sound like something I want, instead of the awkward ordeal of endurance I keep assuming it is.

    maybe someday.

    Thank you, love. Wish with all my heart you were going to be there my first time out.
