Burning Man to say the least...
We walk to a quiet area, just outside of the temple. Two women sit before me. One of them has a giant spiralling snake in her gut, with many colors spilling off, the other has the legs of a mountain lion. I tell the snake woman what I see. She tells me that she is going to do a strong hallucinogenic later that night. I tell the mountain lion woman that she is a leader. she smiles and nods. A man comes and sits down. he pulls the fear card. we stare at eachother fearlessly. suddenly a crowd of people screaming, running past us. They are running from a very tall dust cloud, speeding toward us. he quickly positions himself to take the hit, sitting behind me and sheltering me as much as he can. I hear singing and chanting in the temple, and everything disappears into white yellow grey. we sit crossed legged for about an hour, and decide to crawl inside the temple. we follow the sound of singing and chanting. Inisde I can see a bit more, not much. I sit on a bench. 1/2 hour later, the temple artist calmly moves me from the bench, just as one of the huge lanterns becomes loose in the gusts of wind, and crashes down, breaking the bench I was seated on. Later I see a huge jellyfish speeding in circles, I hear laughter. circles are getting tighter and tighter until CRASH! jellyfish everywhere. I look down, symbols on every inch of desert that passes below my feet, until I am walking on the back of a huge snake...a grand piano catapulted in deep playa, I hear it was a great sound. Im back from the burn. and I think looking at it from home, its seen more clearly for what it was, and what it did to me.
