Notes to a former self - Burning Man

A letter to the virgin burner I was:  

Okay, I don't want to freak you out or anything, but the next 5 days are going to change your life.  I don't mean in a little way either.   After this week you will find yourself head over feet in love, and about to embark on an incredible journey...I don't want to give the whole thing away just now, but trust me, err you. 

Just remember that you can trust completely and give up your need for control all at the same time.  It doesn't always come at a cost.   Open those eyes and see beyond yourself, don't keep getting trapped in your own experience, it is more limited than you know. There is a huge world out there ready to recieve you. Just say yes!  Oh wait you did - and I thank you. Carry On.

A letter to the sophomore burner I was:

Next year is going to suck. Try not to declare that it's your last time, otherwise you will be heckled for years when you keep coming back.   Oh after shitty year  3 (and 10 years later you completely forget why it was shitty, you just remember always saying that it was shitty - so it must have been shitty) it just keep getting better... At some point they become the "best ever yet" every year.  You win!
