One of the things I hadn’t realised about ‘Burn Events’ like Flipside was that the act of burning is considered an act of letting go. Some people take physical things that they want to let go. They commit them to a flamey destruction.
One thing that everyone let go was a giant wooden monkey. That went up like a stick of dynamite when it’s time came. Strangely the last of its six arms to crash from the shoulders into the firepit was the one that we had broken the day earlier. We had been trying to mount a sculpture in its hand, but the sculpture was too heavy and took the whole arm out.
So it’s time to let go, even of the things that have been broken and fixed.
