Burning Man 2015 impends. This year, for the first time since 2011, I've been feeling the call to go. Over the past few weeks, that feeling has gotten more intense.
In response, I contemplated a plan to get me there. The plan was built around the assertion that I have something to offer Black Rock City, that I have a gift to bring. (And I do.) Bringing the idea to fruition in the two weeks between now and the start of Burning Man would be pretty unlikely, which isn't in itself a reason not to try.
But a couple of personal interactions this past weekend told me I'd be wise to wait another year, that another year's growth would give me a much better foundation for a return to the playa. I could also then build on the idea (which I will detail in the days ahead) with a much higher likelihood of success.
As the plan relates a lot to what I'm doing with Free Refills and where I intend to take it from here, I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks here exploring the idea, especially in the context of where Burning Man has taken me in my life and where I hope it'll take me from here, and perhaps vice versa as well, that is, exploring Burning Man in the context of the idea.
In doing so I want to be laying down the groundwork for some broader work, in Free Refills and elsewhere, that I intend to start bringing to fruition in the weeks ahead.
