Chaos rules, burning man style

   Sat, October 1, 2005 - 4:18 PM
so my travles have been far and wide. Interactions with many a soul. shifting of time space continum and DNA.trying to remember how to get my self out of the rabbitt hole compressed back in to normalacy is a daunting task and one that I have never been good at.
I think my last transmission was about Hawyii and Mutant fest, correct me if I'm wrong and I will fill in the blanks.
I've been back from Burning man now for about two weeks in Oakland ( the place of no Oaks).
I am in process of awaiting work and word about this bus project. Thoughts of kidnapping some of my west coast family and wintering in A-ville to concentrate this circus project are fresh in my mind.......
We'll see it will be around late November probly before I can say any thing for sure about that....
THe journey began in a RV that I was slated as the offical driver of. 10 people that didn't really know eachother all VERY diffrent. Bound to be intresting right? So off we go all high energy.
we drive through trecherous curvy road and straight bumpy desert for hours on end. I tell you I can drive the hell out of a massive beast now.
We park for the night at pyramid lace on a native reservation right out side of black rock city the night before they offically open the gates. I managed to tow one of my close friends along for the adventure fully knowing that she had on Idea what she was in for.
I had many journies ouut in tothe playa in which I brought back many useful amendment to my way of thinking and wo-manifesting. all of the day/ nights run together so I'll try to make sense of it as much as possible in words.
The art nthis year was spectacular! it was really "akir-ache'" (the farie word for every thing all at onc.) to my soul to know that even half of that magick is possible in the phisical world........
There was a mother and child sculpture (I only came up to the kneecap of the child) that were wealded out of scrap metal. They had giant flaming foot seaps behind them from the man , the mother had water pouring forth from the left hand and liquid fire puring out of the other hand falling in to the outstreached hand of the other.
I passed this the night that the man burned on my way to a giant phoenx that was coming out of the ground. This creature, made by the flaming Lotus girls , had flaming wing tips that would piriodically burst in to larger flames, a head larger than me and a body that was all drift wood being burned.
Now, the vision is people in pink fuzzy costumes amongst others of equal costumery dancing to dark sentual music bouncing from a double decker bus called the pink pussycat. That had a swing hanging from a third level. ( I rode on this one on another adventure)
I started to feel the sacred geometry shifting my perception and I turned to my friend Keeli and said that I wanted to spin fire now. she ran off and found one of the faming Lotus girls who let me dip in her fuel. I walked up to the wings amongs the madness and became overwhelmed with the beauty of it all. Somthing pushed me from behind to light my poi. i did, suddenly I was under ground in a flaming egg haching out of it as a baby phonix!
I don't know exactly what I did on the poi side of things all I knew was that I had fiery wings that were huge and I was dancing in honer of the mommie phonix.......
I think I did some of the most amazing stuff that I've ever done dancing with poi beacuse when I started coming back in to my body I turned around to many an amazed face. This one guy said wow that was amazing! I felt like I should eat him, I was still a little in the spirit, so I decided that I should leave. the croud parted for me as my poi were still burning and would not go out, the lotus girl that helped me with the fuel came over with a towel and out them out asking me how I did that thing that I did behind my back. I wasn't sure so we just played for a while untill Keeli and I decided to go out on to the open playa.
We got to the middle of it and a great wave took over my body throwing me to the ground. I was taken down 6 levles and the purple sacred geometry came up through my body through all of the levels and in to the city. the music coming from the city and all of the art cars as a whole started to mesh in to one great song and the geometry started to go even farther out to all thoes that I love or have/ are/ or will be working with on many levels and showed me patterns that related to my life path...
I am so in love with my life and everyone in it. I know that no matter what comes we as a whole, depending on our selves will survive and flourish. I'd even say that we are doing quite a job of it now.
Every day is a story in it's self. I wish I could type faster. PLease understand any errors that I've made in typing beacuse of this.
Well, many other adventures were had I'll have to do this in chapter installments. This is the first one. more to come.
I Love you all,
Shali
