I WANT TO BURN AGAIN! by Kelk
Leave your expectations on the side of the road. Once you turn off the highway and enter the flat dusty cracked playa, you leave civilization as you knew it behind. Welcome to New World Dis-Order. You are entering a temporary and spontaneous community, both primitive and futuristic; anything can and probably will happen. My lesson every year is forget everything you know, expect the unexpected. For a wonderful week in late summer, the stark Nevada desert blossoms into both a Heavenly Paradise and a Devilish Hell. For five years in a row I participated in perhaps the most amazing event this side of the coming Armageddon, beyond a Survival-Art-Happening; is it a religious experience? Or more? Much, much more? Burningman is truly what you make it. For me it has become my Birthday, my New Years, my Christmas, my Easter, my Graduation, my Halloween and the Fourth of July all rolled into one supercharged blast of excitement, self-knowledge and unexpected fun. From weather and storms that feel like the Gates of Hell, to relaxed strolls under a beautiful calm moonlight sky. It's all that and more, much more than words or pictures capture. Is it real or an illusion? You'll have to judge for yourself.
