Please Burn My Pain

 

Here are some photos which, in my opinion, best represent what Black Rock City really is. You won’t find any naked girls, parties, nice landscape or an intriguing piece of art. Yes, BRC has all of that (maybe way too much) and a lot more, but so do other cities.

Instead, if you look closer (and I urge you to click on each photo for a biggie) you may find something more than messages written on lumber. It took  me a few burns to actually come to this realization about Burning Man. It took me a few years to understand the meaning of the Temple. This understanding came with a strong desire to cry and smile at the same time, while experiencing a sunrise at the temple.

See these writings. Read these messages. Understand them. Realize how we all share the same feelings in a way or another. Realize how we share the same fear and dreams.

Then realize we are indeed one.
