The citizens of Black Rock City who make it to the trash fence are invited to feel that the universe is smiling at them - to sit down to participate in a small journaling moment and to help themselves to a sticker or a patch gift afterward. Three handpainted silk flags stand tall at the trash fence with intricate gold and colourful lines, saying "The universe is smiling at you", "The world loves you" and "You are beautiful". These flags seek to remind participants that through small moments of joy like this, through kind strangers we meet, the universe is showing us, even in the hardest moments, that the universe loves us! At the journaling table, there is a journal with a pen attached, inviting BRC citizens to reflect on their moments of joy and love from the universe even during their toughest times. Journaling can bring joy, light, kindness and help stop anxious thoughts. Once participants are finished with journaling, they are encouraged to find the hint to the code of the safe and take a sticker or a patch gift with one of the phrases - one for themselves and one to gift to a stranger on or off Playa, spreading the ripples of kindness and joy even further
