One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every single time I go to burning man in the desert of Nevada I have a terrific time and wish only to return. If I can recommend anything its that you someday come and enhance burning man in your own unique, creative, absurd brilliance. A question was asked of many people, it was as follows: "Why do you do what you do?"
My two favorite answers were "Because I like making people laugh!" and "To save us all."

"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves."
-Excerpt from Wild Geese by Mary Oliver.
