Best ever clubbing experience - What's yours?

hey kev

 

well, you can see that pic on a regular basis by stealing it from the website - my friend leeanne took it and i'm sure she would not mind your copying it...

 

i've been thinking about what you said about luck. i've made a bunch of choices in my life which have caused me to end up in san francisco - a long way from edinburgh. if somebody had told me 10 years ago i'd end up here, i probably would not have believed them.

 

it so happens that burning man takes place in the black rock desert which is relatively easy to get to from san francisco - 6 or 8 hours on the road. i suppose if burning man was in brazil, i may not have discovered it quite so quickly. so that may be described as luck. i guess luck is another word for destiny, chance, whatever - depending on your viewpoint.

 

i know i hammer on this a bit but if burning man has taught me anything which i truly believe in, it's that we're all in control of our own happiness. people are only miserable because they choose to be miserable. that seems like a hell of a strange choice to make.

 

another thing it taught me is that, while burning man is in so many ways a specific event in space and time, it's also a way of thinking.

 

this didn't really strike me until after the first time i went. i noticed for example that the streets here are full of trash which people drop. it's so unnecessary and a tiny bit more thought on the part of a large number of people could lead to a much tidier city. so i've started to be a lot more careful about dropping things like cigarette butts and other trash. might seem like a small gesture but it makes a difference.

 

i experience burning man moments every day of my life and i finally realised that i don't have to be at burning man to enjoy burning man. i can take it with me wherever i go.

 

you probably don't realise how lucky (haha) you are living in london. when i lived there i spent a lot of time up on hampstead heath - it's one of the most beautiful parks i've ever been in.

 

i have a story about a sunset on hampstead heath which is where the whole 'magicglasses' thing got started. but that's a story for another time.

 

so go enjoy a sunset or a sunrise up on the heath and be happy knowing that we're in charge or our own destiny and, no matter where you are on the planet, if you wait a little while, the sun will rise or set and it's worth watching every single time - it's so beautiful.

We can get so much from life, you just have to learn to be content with what you have and be joyful of what you receive.
