In front of the temple in between breaks in the dust storm.

My Horoscope by horoscope.com:
A new attitude has brought new relationships and you are completely enthralled with your new revelations. Enjoy learning and growing, it gives you an even more lighthearted attitude. This change in outlook is making it easier for the stars to make your life better.

Came back from Burning Man a week ago. It is only now that I feel not totally exhausted from the experience. I am still decompressing but can feel better able to fully function. Being in the dessert for a week, going on a few hours of sleep everyday, being amazed by art, interacting with people in different and profound levels; it may be awhile still my experience becomes fully integrated. I had heard many stories about Burning Man. I had a unique experience, which I'm sure everyone does. Some of my expectations were never met, however, some things surprised me and gone past my expectations. In a nutshell, I really believe in the concepts and principals that Burning Man aspires. The belief in service in building a community. Self expression and acceptance. Existing in a space for a limited time and then leaving no trace behind. The one regret I have is that I didn't take many pictures. So I leave you with this video that a friend sent me. So far it is the best video that chronicles a groups of friends' experience of Burning Man. Enjoy.

Horoscope in Hindsight:
Not sure about a new attitude, more like a renewed attitude in my faith in community.
