i know you do.
eventually.
you take a picture of your Manipura Chakra area; the gut.
what is The Situation which stares back at you?
is there Symmetry?
is there leanness?
is there functionality?
is there an expression of Upliftment in your gut (and butt!)?
or Down-rift-ment?
i mean, really…
truly…
where are You in relation to your Abdominal Situation?
don’t default to the “I’m too old,” baggage…screw that.
if you studied and STUCK WITH WF?
you’d know that gettin’ Abs is the easy part.
far, far, far beyond that is the spiritual fallout which is called dealing with the Inner Jeweled City Which Burns In Your Gut…
isn’t time to really just DO THE WORK OF WHOLENESS before you die?
a Proven Path
arises
shining before you
since 1982
ilg suggests;
taking it.
enjoy the following…
fires everywhere;
inner ones,
outer ones (Dharma Blessings to my Kinlani brother and sisters)…
ilg can teach you how to make a fire to keep you warm for the night.
ilg can torch you
so you can burn
for the rest of your life…

like the air that ilg breathes here beneath the Sacred Peak of Dibé Nitsaa, beside the Sacred River Animas,
part of my Dreamspeak which feeble ilg attempts to manifest is the sharing of whole-s(om)e sweat and stillness – the yin and the yang – of living WF right here, in her birthplace; Durango.
• without eating physical food, yet Pranically Satiated from my EMR, the Deities bless ilg to take 3rd in the HillClimb prime and 1st in the Finishing Sprint during the 2-hour Club Ride*
• transition quickly and go swimming at Trimble Hot Springs with my girls into a Ute Blessing and Sacred Dance…see photo’s below.

i love this shot taken, like the ones below, at this evenings Ute Blessing and Dance. i grew up with the daughter of a Mountain Ute Tribal Elder. this pic reMinds ilg of her…and of the Sacred Simplicity inherent to honoring Father Sky and Mother Earth as our parents…
timeless…a 6 year-old Ute girl dancer honoring tonight’s solstice in the “Sun Dance”
sh of color expressing the endless bounty of chi inherent to the small, fierce Mountain Utes; the Native American’s of the Durango, Colorado area. Their world once extended north to Wyoming, west to Arizona, south to New Mexico, and east to Nebraska. Now? ilg doesn’t even have the ‘guts’ to tell you. let’s just say it’s very, very local around Durango.
Dewachen and Ananda join in the Friendship Dance along with the Utes…i absolutely adore Dewa’s auspicious hand mudra in this blurry yet chiful shot…
Dewa and Amma-ji roll in the grass after the Native dancing…* so, we’re regrouped on the Club Ride at the top of Hermosa Hill; a 2-mile local climbing sufferfest upon bludgeoned pavement which leads toward the trailhead of the now famous Hermosa Creek Trail. anyway, it’s the first time i’m on this ride and one of the bro’s comes up to me and says,
“Nice climb…”
“Oh, thanks…” i reply resisting the egoic impulse to tell him that i rode the Passes back and forth on Saturday and did Track Intervals yesterday and that my legs felt as dead as tree stumps on the climb.
“Yeah, I couldn’t quite follow your wheel…but just wait till you start getting grey hair…it’s a lot harder to climb when you get older.”
smiling politely, ilg takes the Noble Silence…eventually i find out that he is 7 years younger than ilg.
especially the older you get.
there is chronologic age.
then there is physiologic age.
then….there is WF age(lessness)!
