Extravagance & costliness

Since returning from worthy farm alot has been spinning round my head. The elemental venue is such an amazing place, primariliy becuase of the huge amount of effort people put into to creating this haven in the mud.

I think of the moronic cow quiz team spending months getting ready for one night only - or Andy and Henrik producing a full on TV programme every night - or Greg and Claire organising everything, or all the team staying on their days off from work to stay up all night taking it all down only to collapse in a heap nursing wounds and scrapes and dreaming .

It doesn't make sense - on a cost benefit analysis it doesnt add up. Why do people do such things?

For me the key is extravagant worship - the whole venue is done for the glory of another, every effot and strain to show poeple what a redeemed, renewed and fulfilled community can acheive ....

So elemental team - thanks for breaking the alabaster jar all over glastonbury!
