I'm a shy pseudo-Burner.

Recovering from a major depression is hard.  I feel a lot better, and I have a lot more energy, and I'm ready to do stuff.  But how do I go about getting back into things?  Especially with the Burn community - I was pretty new when I just dropped off the face of the Earth for what, five months?  Now I feel really hesitant to make contact again.  I feel like I failed somehow by not being involved through the beginning of the busiest time of the year. 

Do any of you Burner types know of any leads/AFs who need a somewhat gimpy volunteer (meaning I can't carry heavy loads over distance or walk for a long time on my injured foot)?  I may be on a cane at F/s, but even so I can do assembly/take down, Greeting, manning ice, stuff like that. gyesika, I've emailed Jen I just haven't heard back yet. 

To the Burners on my friends list:  I'm sorry I dropped off the map.  It was me.  Can I come back?

:) Thanks. I'd forgotten about Parking (or blocked it out, it's hard to tell).

You were in a dream of mine last night. My dream version of you has fascinating things to say.

Yes? Such as what?

Apparently indigo is the key. The key to everything. If I can relax and accept the indigo, and put the indigo into my tea (which you demonstrated carefully) it will all be figured out.

So sayeth my dream-Nobo.

And then we were somewhere else, with willows.

Very cool.

I'm not sure if actual indigo is safe to consume, but the IDEA of indigo sure is.

EDIT: Apparently, some species are used as an anti-inflammatory analgesic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigofera

I didn't know there was actual edible indigo - thanks!

The very word indigo has always moved me - it's so evocative of mystery and centered-ness. And of course the color is an astounding one. And it made a very pretty tea, like the sky just after sunset in a cup.
