Indeed! Is not about the burn. Is also about the time you spend in there... cleansing whatever is it is dragging your life... Like you said, seeing such a social experiment work, at least in the small scale, makes you believe in human genuineness once more... Once you feel the love, you realize that, now like before in human history, there are evil, manipulating, preoccupied, numb people, as there are stars, lovers, geniuses out there. So yes, never lose the hope. Still moving forward towards a better world!

Besides, where do you get to see the sky and the stars in such a primal beauty, if not in BRC!?
Life changing experience, of course. The burn is just the consummation of what you've been exercising during the week.
-Happy to share whatever with creatures that have been out there-
See you in Central Camp!!
