Why?
Why go to Burning Man? Why travel to Europe? The answers, of course, are obvious.
...but you don't believe that. Did you go to Burning Man? Are you in Europe? You'd like to be, but there's so much to do.
What the heck am I doing?
For me, there's a myriad set of reasons. Burning Man, good or bad, art or camp, is an edge experience--it's not normal live, and highlights your habits and patterns by forcing you to change them. Specific habits relating to things like packaging, and partying, and art (a great nebulosity, that word.) MOOP! Take care of your stuff! Go experience things!
Going to Burning Man was a way to get moving. What it mainly has done is crystallize my dissatifaction with my current life and my way of living it. BM helped give me perspective and make things fresh. Will I go again? I don't know; I'll see later on. But I want to go to more regional events, be more involved, make the cool things I saw and use them (solar ovens, LED light systems, art, greywater recirculation systems).
Going to Europe is moving. Specifically, I'll be bonding with my mother, exploring a new intellectual field, hanging out with old friends, and being out in the world.
Europe is really about the people.
Burning Man, essentially, is about the people.
Therefor, my life is about the people.
What I do with that next is under thought.
