A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
“It’s a radically unusual idea that has overtaken a large group of people in one region. This notion, propagated by Burning Man, that you should create something. That you should notice the world and make a comment on it and express that comment through building something — and that you should do this in a very unusual, very harsh environment, under the worst imaginable conditions. Burning Man has infested the Bay Area with the notion that people should do creative work. And that it’s not just a right but a responsibility, in order to be a living, breathing, valuable human being.”

Because of this, we are calm and completely free of anxiety. We are where we should be at that moment, doing what we should be doing and completely aware of what we are experiencing. There is no wasted motion, physically or mentally.
