This was a piece posted in Arizona Burners Yahoo Groups- this is exactly how I feel right now.

“As preparations for Burning Man accelerate I have moments where I seriously wonder what I am doing. There is so much of my effort and money going into getting ready for the playa that sometimes I think I must actually be insane. Why am I doing this?

I guess it’s because it is a marvelous thing to be part of a grand enterprise, something larger than myself. Burning Man is just such a grand enterprise.

Right now, around the world, 50,000 imaginative and dedicated people are working on something to make a city in the desert appear out of nowhere. No wonder it’s so incredible!

So, if the preparations are getting you down, if people are getting on your nerves, if you wonder whether you can get everything done in time, and you think, “This is not worth it.” Think again.

In less than four weeks we will all be there together in the largest playground in the world, and we created it ourselves! Black Rock City – a city of dreams made reality.”
