Night:Night 1
I have no idea what time it is and I don't care. The sun is down,
so it's night. What else is needed. Nada. Blink and I hopped on our bikes and
went over to visit the Man. Earlier, I did indeed take a bike ride by
myself...I went towards the Man, circled him, and saw my shadow in the
moonlight....I then headed south...and south and south......along the way I
stopped, got off the bike and took off all my clothes, bundled them, put them
under my shoulder and kept going. The air was warm the desert stretched on
forever and the breeze felt so good against my skin....oh god, it was so
incredible, I never felt so free or alive as when I felt that warm wind
against me, saw my naked shadow on the cracked earth, the dry playa, in the
bright moonlight. I saw the dim shapes of others riding around, bikes with
lightsticks.....I stopped again and got off the bike, laid it down, and then
laid down myself, naked on the dry earth, feeling it crackle against my
back....staring up at the moon.
Pure bliss. A gillion stars. I thought of DLJ.....he said he went to Burning
Man 3-4 years ago....I wish he was here, and I'm glad he isn't. All for good
reasons. So I sit beneath the eternal sky, I am so tired now ony 2-3 hours
sleep in the last day.....ready for sleep, whatever time it is, and whenever
I get up.
I heard Python music and biked over to see two gentleman with a giant
sliderule explaining to a crowd of onlookers how it worked. Two middle aged
guys in the desert....doing equations on slide rules.....
Haven't found the glow in the dark golf course yet.
