When I get past the tiny town of Gerlach, NV, and to the entrance to Black Rock City, each year, I start to cry when I see the dust pillars from the cars going into the gates. I am home, I am loved, and I live there for seven glorious days and then I return to the world I came from and I try all year long to live the principles and give the love when I can. I did not go to Burning Man until I was 50. Go as soon as you are able... it will change your life forever!
I can't wait to finally attend Burning Man, I cried the moment I found out I would be attending. I've wanted to go since I was a 10 year old girl, I knew one day I would. Aug 29-Sept 5, 2011... here I come.
is it just me or do u ever ask why does it take something outstanding and no form of mainstream society to open our eyes to whats real and be yourself just like Burning Man express yourself how you want live like you want to...im sure you can relate John well i hope so...and if theres anything that can help is love...well im gonna stop babblen.....
Really sweet tribute! My first burn was last year with a very dear friend who had been to 8 burns before me.....and we had similar experiences about it, I was her Dmitry.
I've attended regional burns and experienced miniature versions of the playa, the love you find there is not miniaturized though, cannot wait for BM 2011.
I'd really like to experience this. It reminds me of an electric version of the rainbow gatherings I used to attend here in E TX until some 9claudiuses went out there with guns after which the rainbows never came back. I just can't imagine how to prepare for such an event. I can't imagine how much it would cost for all the supplies, the ticket, enough things to give away and feel generous...
Burning man 2010 will hopefully be my first burn, Iv watched all your videos but this one in particuler has brought tears to my eyes, It's just so special <3 Thank you for makeing the videos that you do <3
i have been dreaming about burning man for the past several years, since first learning about it from YOU, actually, through livejournal in a time long, long ago. 2010 will be the first year it may actually be a reality. this video was beautiful. tears in my eyes, warm swelling in my heart, and i can't wait to go home.
This is about the 5th time i have watched your video and it still brings tears to my eyes. watching it brings back the best feeling i have ever felt. welcome home dmitry!
will there be another hug nation at center camp next year? i really hope so
I'm not a Burner quite yet as 2010 will be my first burn. But hearing the music and feeling the love that you displayed through a video has sent me into tears. Tears of happiness that your friend has officially experienced the wonderfullness that is Burning Man and tears of excitement for me to finally be there and experience everything first-hand.
Thank you for the help you've given me with your tips and tricks videos, and thank you for displaying something so beautiful for all of us to enjoy.
it was me and my girls 1st burn aswell were from London it is emotional and I really relate to the feeling of having experienced something truly special, I'm sure there are 1000's of story's to be heard. Halcyon I wanted to find you to thank you for your survival videos i watched in preperation for my adventure they really helped. There are Officially 2 NEW BURNERS from LONDON see u @ METROPOLIS. PEACE & LOVE TO ALL WHO MAKE IT WHAT IIT IS. Hands up who misses the taste of Player Dust+ 6:30 H
Looks more like a bunch of clowns at a third rate carnival mouthing inanities than an expression of true love and joy. Remember that feeling of "love" from a bunch of strangers when real misfortune strikes your life. Devolution NOT Evolution. This event as a response to the cynical social climate shows how well the manipulators of thought and Puppet Masters have done their job. Go full moon dance in Cambodia and ignore all the suffering there and here.
@9claudius Personal inadequacies are revealed by the practice of continuously surfing content of a groups actions so dear to your heart that it actually self medicates personal gratification. Wow, your influence is as absent as your sickness is present. Since your pathogen is created by the defense response above mentioned and not your body’s dysfunction, just embrace it instead.
this looks like it might be one of the most beautiful places on earth.. After i attend a couple more festivals and get my mind right, this is where I will be! I live across the country but an experience like this seems like it would be priceless
John you are a beautiful person. If only everyone shared your view on life and others, well I need not say what a beautiful world this would be. Thanks for the inspiration. I hope to experience the magic one day.
well done. its lovely to open someone up to festivals.. i know burnin man is totally different to regular festivals but yea.. same principle.. he looked so peaceful in the after shot..
what is that on my cheek... omg, it's a tear... Halcyon, thank you! I think that's all I can say right now... THANK YOU!
