Ahhh... what is Burning Man, and why do the "faithful" keep coming back? Is it that we feel we are a family, and Black Rock City is our home...even though it only exists for a week each year?
This is my immediate Burning Family... my campmates. The core group formed in 1997, which was also the first Burning Man experience for most of us. A couple of new faces have joined us, notably Wendy, Dorothy, and Janice. Starting with me in the blue checked jacket, and going around clockwise...
Imagine this group of folks, confined in a brutal, unpredictable environment for seven days. And nary word of dissent or anger. That says something. I'm not sure what... but something. |
