✨BURNING MAN PRINCIPLE #7: CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY✨

☝🏽Hey! Everyone take care of yourself, and we'll heal the world...! Work on yourself first. Integrate and reflect rather than project! Make yourself an ongoing work of art...! Constantly rendering in progress. Improvement with each new sunrise. Excitement at self-betterment and maximization of your human potential! 🌶As a recovering anarchist and someone who has spent lots of time in intentional communities - this one is a big bite to chew! Yes, when we empower ourselves with *radical self reliance* and *self-knowledge*, then we've accrued enough responsibility to show up WHOLE in relationship. (Yes, romantic partnership, friendship, work relationship OR community relating - it's all applicable.) Rather than showing up broken, lost or in desire/lack, we have a choice to turn inward and find a strength inside which can sustain us when the dust storm comes a-blowin'. What's needed to fulfill civic responsibility? Wholeness in relating...? This jellyfish is a prime example. To be simultaneously as solid-jelly as the top and as flexible/flow-state as the bottom. There. Problems solved. Now? Begin! Look within. 🙌🏾
