Mt. Rainer and “Spaceship Clouds” from Peter Murray of Vashon Island, Canada
Most Precious Sangha,
some pretty big Energy sweeping around the Temple these days…i’ll fill you in after the weekend.
i’ll do my best to blog before i leave, however, if i don’t make it (i know my Snowshoe Race Report is past due!) i want you to know i’m trekking over to my h(om)etown of Durango to do the 42k Nordic Ski UltraMarathon, Tour de Ski. i’m using it as training only for Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon Solo Division for which i sent in my Race Registration yesterday (gulp!). i’m leaving the laptop at home, since i’ll be doing the poor man’s bivouac action in Bala (my Honda Element). in the meanwhile, please use the DL Archives for your Svadhaya and get into the WF SanghaLounge and catch up on all the wonderful spirits animating those Caves!
send me some Chi on Saturday, please! This is our nation’s highest Nordic Ultra, with 3,000 vertical feet of climbing over 42kilometers and an insanely high speed descent off the summit snows of Grizzly Peak (13,738′)! as usual, ilg is absolutely undertrained for this caliber of an event, however, i’ve got your spirit in my cells and my own spirit is always willing to suffer the Sacred San Juan Sweat!!
i’ll send you off with some AMAZING pics that WF Devotee Mike Longmire, who just finished 5th in CycleCross Nationals, sent me…those of us who live in Flagstaff, know well the beautiful sculpted grace of ‘lenticular clouds’ which often wrap Doko Oosliid in the most seductive of ways. They’re caused when the air flow gets pushed upward where it cools and condenses into clouds. Although, i did take Astral Navigation studies under a spiritual teacher in Santa Fe, New Mexico who had it on the Highest of Sources that lenticular clouds are actually masking devices for 5th Dimensional Spaceships…hey, who is ilg to argue?!
enjoy the majesty of our amazing plane(t) Earth!
head bowed, ready to ski hard, and breathe soft…
your ol’ mountain yogi…the coach who still gets out and does the do for YOU!
