I didn’t expect to take a call; I was helping the shift change in the Green Room when I was raptured mid-sentence into Heaven at the same time as a guest. I realized my camera was on and said “oh shit” and turned it off, but I don’t think he noticed or heard me — it took a while for his audio to work.
He was a mature man with a deep resonant voice and a laugh to match. I asked if he had a request from me, and he laughed and said no, he was just here for the experience. He told me he’s from rural Tennessee and asked where I was. I nearly said “Washington state” before I remembered Who I am. I said “I’m everywhere” and he laughed and said “of course”. He told me he’d been to Burning Man six times. He said there aren’t many people where he lives who would understand, so he doesn’t talk much about it. I suggested he tell them he was able to make a deep and sacred connection with God, but don’t mention the phone booth. He thought that was a good idea and that his neighbors could relate to that. He asked whether there were others here or it was just me and him; I said “from my perspective it’s just me; but you’re part of me.” He liked that answer. Since he seemed interested in how the installation works, I told him he could learn more buy clicking the blue “I want to help” at the bottom of the website. He told me to thank everyone for this wonderful and memorable experience.
