Description:

Friday morning, as the sun is rising, we will burn the WORD.  Burning scripture is widely considered an act of sacrilege and the intention here is to deeply honor the underlying message of scripture while challenging the observer to consider the common essence behind all spiritual identity.  Out of respect for the religious traditions represented in the scripture, the layer of scripture will be removed from the letters before burning.  It will be packaged and respectfully buried outside of Burning Man.  The naked word itself will be burned as we aspire to come to a deeper sense of being and spiritual identity that cannot be conveyed with words.
