Teacher KO Salutes His Coach’s Noble Efforts In The Big City, “……our Temple remains where ever you go.”

Dear Teacher,
i re-call, several years back, back in the days when the WF Journal arrived via snail mail. back when hearing from Coach Ilg came only from direct correspondence. in one of those Journal’s you shared your experience of being notified, on short notice, that you would have to move from your last apartment. you talked about turning the situation over to the UniVerse, and while out riding your bicycle, you “accidentally” found your current Casa.

i have read the email you sent to your local LA Sangha about the availability of your apartment now that you and Ananda are moving to Flagstaff. i’d be all over renting that space. that Joint is going to continue vibing High for a very long time.

*** early morning light on dumbbells. Teacher Q used to live in this room before it transformed into the Temple Gym at 5720 Yolanda Ave. in the San Fernando Valley ***

countless hours of Practice and Spiritual Devotions went down there; Spiritual Transmissions, and Awakenings, all of it… you truly converted an unassuming “condo” into an Authentic Temple of Awakening, no doubt.

i know you have been TAF’ing you fell short in the Big City. fuck, dude, could you have picked a tougher podium to teach such a Steep and Direct Path? yet, i know, that you COULD have very easily made the what the Outer World views as the top step, had you been willing to sell out WF. that ain’t your Way. you are too fierce and too devoted to your Teachers, who would certainly have not approved of a sell out.

*** The now gone, HP YOGA STUDIO, on Ventura Blvd. i did my best to bring the HP Yoga Dharma to LA. It was not to take root, this time. in my heart and in Ananda’s heart, however, we know we gave everything and then some to keep that amazing Cave active. The chi was so strong in my Cave that it freaked non-Practitioners out…those of us who Practiced sincerely…treasured this sacred spot of refuge in a very busy city intoxicated by external desires. ***

WF will have it’s day, in the manner you envision it, in the manner your Teachers will have it. i have Faith in this.

for what it’s worth, in my view, you finished your tour of duty with Honor, Dignity, Authenticity, Courage, Compassion, and Love. you have remained steadfast with full Devotion to your Work; all while Serving in the nations, if not the Planets most brutal spot.

so, to me, you finished Way ahead of the field.

and now…here you grow again. the Mountain Yogi’s Journey has no end, eh?…our Temple remains where ever you go.

Ilgbro, i’m with you, in the ether.

Much Love to you and Ananda,
WF Teacher ko
