Last weekend we had a farewell for a couple of local burners who died late last year
Those deaths were in quick succession and otherwise unrelated, but the effect hit hard.
I stopped writing my daily haiku, which has been a practise for a couple of years now.
The event last weekend included burning a small effigy and catching up with people from the Burning Seed community.
It was rewarding in its own way to see so many open-hearted individuals without the usual craziness of Seed.
The result reminded me what a great community exists as a result of the burns and the gentle shape they're given with the ten principles.
