So, we went to Decompression to talk about the Bridge of Fire and at the end of the event, I climbed up on the bridge and started swinging the rope lights. Some woman apparently thought that because the lights were still plugged in or that because the bridge did not seem to be that sturdy, I was in some kind of danger. She asked Lady Lavender, “Should he be doing that?” Lady Lavender looked at her for a bit and said “I don’t know, but he’s going to do it anyway.”
That’s how it is with the Bridge of Fire. This project is certainly bigger than me and there are several practical reasons that I ask my self if I should be doing this. So, I just let moonfire do it because he’s going to do it anyway. After seven years on the Playa and five years of building fire art, I have learned that I can do amazing things, and the person who does these things is named moonfire. So, I will combine all my skills with everything I have learned and with the support of Burners and others, I will accomplish something that I “shouldn’t” be able to do. But he real reason I know I can do it is because I got a fortune this week that said,
So, it begins with a vision and a desire and a really good reason. This Bridge of Fire gives me life for another season. There is a voice I hear when I am in doubt, or when I am sad. It came to me in a dream of Donovan and he said, “you can do it, Dad.” So, whether I should or shouldn’t doesn’t seem to be the question. The question is how.
