don't let...

[rwx]

Someone asked me for advice, here it is...

don't let the dust distract you from the possibility of rain.
don't let the rain distract you from the possibility of the moment.
don't let an art car run you over while you're looking at a map.
don't let the moon drive you crazy.
don't let the sun burn you.
don't let the map distract you from the territory.
don't let the participants fuck with you.
don't let your sense of radical self-entitlement out.
don't let needing pants distract you from doing what is right.
don't let the wind stop blowing.
don't let your feet get too dry.
don't let the dust in your eye keep you from seeing.
don't let the dust in your ear stop you from hearing.
don't let the dust on your skin stop you from touching.
don't let the dust in your nose stop you from smelling.
don't let the dust in your mouth keep you from tasting.
don't let dust in your heart keep you from feeling.
don't let the hippies get too close to you if your nose hasn't dried out.
don't let your crazy camp kitchen stop you from experiencing the event.
don't let the dust in your tent freak you out, you can't stop it.
don't let the consequences always stop you, but do consider your choices.

it's all in the negative, yo.

it rains in the desert.
enjoy the moment despite the rain (burners persevere)
beware the wily art cars and their man-eating proclivities
the moon shifts.
wear your frackin' sunscreen.
focus on the moment, not the schedule.
fuck with the participants. be a spectator

or something...
