Enter :50Hz Healrz: Stage Left

Okay. I admit that I have been putting this off. I have been thinking,"Okaay, how am I going to even attempt to encapsulate who we are and what we have been doing down in industrial land warehouse USA?" Do we even know who we are? Since I am here...now typing...I know that there are some undeniable truths about who we are and what we are doing down there...(besides making a lot of noise.....weird noise.)

I know that when we all get together we share more than smiles, laughs, hugs, and stories. Those are so splendid standing on their own. Im sure we can all remember a certain playa event that still makes us laugh and wonder. (Like what happened to the couch that flew off ganesh on the way to Burning Man!) But I feel that we as a group share so much more than that together. To me, you people are the ones in the world that know my heart. You are the ones that make me believe in love and transformation.

I know that through my experiences with all of you I have grown as an individual. I can envision myself as an infinite being able and so willing to love and give of myself toward the amazing common goals we share. There is nothing more supportive than never having having to feel alone and knowing no matter how bad things look I got a smiling laughing friend with a band saw or big truck to help me out.

I know that the art we create and help our friends to create goes on to create more love and inspiration to all those who see, enjoy, and interact with it. We are radiant harbingbers of life energy. We; like the tides and trees and nautilus shells, are spiraling out in communion with nature in an effortless dance with the universe around us. We bring magic into the world together.

I know that without all of you I simply would not be me.

I just show up at the City of Seven Gates each day and do what I can to help whatever is happening to keep on happening. It is not work to me. It is the actualization of a world I once only dreamt of. I feel so absolutely blessed! I can't exactly tell you and the world at large what we are doing but, like so many things in life, I don't need an explanation or answer to know that it feels wonderful inside. Like the first snow on the mountains. Its fresh, new, envigorating. I just know in my heart that this is my truest path. I keep showing up and doing my best to walk that path with dignity and grace and trust that the universe will support me in my efforts.

You all are my family. You all are the actualizations of dreamtime visions. I could never explain nor thank you enough. Know that each and every tiniest bit helps and is appreciated. Come down to our burgeoning city, get involved, co-create. It's weird. Sometimes things get very strange indeed, but whats better than a burner in full gear walking through temple square??

As for blogs...look for more. Like everything else we create we are doing this our own way too. You will never find a day to day update here. This is more of a spiritual journal or account of the development of a new reality. Someday when Salt Lake is the Western hub of art activity and people flock overseas to the City of Seven Gates, having heard about it somewhere along their travels, this blog will stand as testament....perhaps a holy testament, of what challenges we faced and how we, as one, overcame.

Merry Christmas! Deepest Love, IKKA
