At an art festival called Burning Man, somebody made a dome with dollar bills loosely attached to the entire wall. The theme was trust. People went inside the dome, thought and felt whatever they would, and came out. Until, of course, one fool nicked a few bills.

Past nights I’ve been coming back with my face aglow, fueled to the finger tips with, what shall I call this, love? Connection? The full moon effect?
