Now that we are mostly done with material preparation, it's about psychic and emotional preparation, and setting my intention. What do I want out of this trip/vacation/journey?
Many things.
1) Complete removal from the grid and thoughts of work for at least seven days.
2) Simplicity.
3) Outdoor hot yoga.
4) Large scale participatory art experiences that blow my mind and inspire renewed faith in humanity.
5) Radical self-expression - in whatever form that takes. Even if that means a three hour nap and sitting naked in the sun/shade alone all day. Or in hammock in a great camp that I discover. Sipping cocktails.
6) Family time with all three of my grown children - separate time with each, and some all together. Maybe Joe and I will find them at dawn when they are DJing together on an art car after the Unicorn stampede. Maybe sitting on a tarp together, after everything is burned to the ground, when our camps our nearly packed, eating whatever food is left over and sharing stories.
7) Alter ego bonding with Joe in his leather gear.
8) Finding a new alter ego or two.
9) Bonding with old friends and new people I have not yet met.
10) Clarity on the direction of my life for the next 10-20 years.
Maybe some of these things will happen. I will stay open to collective imagination. That is my commitment.
