Burning man

[BROOK]

I don't feel I need to defend myself, if you say the paint is there I'm sure it is, I just did not see it on my one and only trip there. It's a shame that anywhere you go there are those who must be intent on ruining the flow.

The basis of this thread was to share a wonderful experience for what it was, with my son who spent the time with his friends entertaining, which they did a great job of, and to share the art which was wonderful.

I know that the drug crazed lunatics were not in my camp, as my son went skydiving every day there at least twice, and cannot jump while under the influence. And although there is a Bohemian influence to the whole thing, I realize there are many there flying higher then a kite.

The point of the thread was that there was a great time if you can bring yourself to experience it.

As I stated there is a community there, and my experience there was as I described it. We shared, had meditation, POI classes, a stilt circus of sorts, that was what I wanted to share with the group here at Avalon

Sometimes we draw to ourselves our experiences. Thanks to my son who choose to invite me, he and his friends brought me into their circle of love and laughter, and I don't regret a minute of it. They respected me like I was their mother.
The art alone was worth the trip.

So in ending this debate about Burning man

I started this thread to share the art, community,and loving experience I shared with a wonderful group of very bright and caring young people.
I'm sorry your experience was not the same.

I had many different experiences there, yin/yang. its a good thing to experience. especially if you have never been to such a gathering. its very powerful. but there are always 2 sides to the story. if not more. got to look at all sides. Im glad you had a good time. thats one side. so many get very excited about this gathering. I understand where your coming from. but if it was in your back yard you might think differently? this is a lot of pressure on fragile ecosystem. for a place with no services. and like my 2 post. there are organizations that teach about the fragile habitat of the area. as well as restoration. and clean up. thats a positive thing.



my experience were positive. you seem to be suggesting that It was my surroundings? or maybe Im personalizing this? but that isn't the case. its picking up trash after the event and staying after a few days. that breaks my hart. I'm a nature lover. what can I say.



cheers
