I had planned to do some Bloody Hands action there, but it wasn't right, except for one situation... and that didn't turn out to be right either eventually.
Bloody Hands is social sculpture, and that social sculpture over there just didn't need any intervention of that kind. Why would I want to initiate transformation where it is beautiful as is? For the heck of it? No way.
Burning man is a wonderful social sculpture and fully developed. It also is an incredible gesamtkunstwerk regarding the wholistic aspect of it all and the arts, especially the djying - though it still is a fairly secluded society - and I am aiming for the whole world - this will have significant impact eventually, and my part is different from what I do with Bloody Hands.
I could try to find hairs in the soup, I guess, and damn right, I'm a big fan of always finding room for improvement, but even I can get to a point where I say "This is perfect". Good to know actually, I never said it referring to life on earth in such a broad sense, nor did I say it about my personal life. Great... big :).
The universe is perfect, always, but that doesn't mean I don't want to stop wars. A flower is perfect, but that doesn't mean I don't want to protect it or whatever I want to do with it. Over there I did not want to change a grain of dust, nor did I feel that heavy responsibility urgently having to do something against what is wrong. I was even happy about the 20% pareto optimized idiots who were mixed in the crowd.
I surely continuously prove to the world, that I'm never settling for less, and it makes me a nomad on all levels. I did however settle down completely for 2 or 3 days, how cool is that. Home :) But enough of that. I have impressions of what I need to do.
I surely could have used that phenomenal power of others there to feed the transformative force of Bloody Hands, but except for one person that would have been potentially exploitive.
Anyways, in the meanwhile Brad and Francis have sent me messages, that they have seen traces of Bloody Hands, asking, if I did that. One was in the subway, and one was near Montauk. Brad even sent a pic. It wasn't me :). I know of one artist friend, a burner by the way, who couldn't go, who said she was going to do street art. She neither wants to be named nor documented. It could have been her. I don't know. It doesn't matter though. It might have been a total stranger. I'm getting emails from total strangers who support. It might not even have a conscious connection at all.
