This Winter: 10 podiums in 11 races…3 Overall Victories…distances from 42k to 10k…tomorrow is my final ski race; a 15k Classic Race at over 8,000′ at Flagstaff Nordic Center…can my high-end fitness form hold for one more race? photo above; courtesy of Durango Nordic Center.
Most Precious Sangha,
i just updated my Facebook™ status:
5 hour Sadhana drive: meditation/fast/chanting across my beloved southwest desert…arrived in Kinlani for my final nordic race of the season…it’s sacredly beautiful to be here again in my former h(om)e…Prana coming off Doko Oosliid is DIVINE!
in the night air, i feel again that rare, intoxicating, purifying Prana cascading off the Sacred Peak…the Birth Peak of my Daughter…the Sacred Peak to which i brought Ananda and myself to recover after my decade-long mission in Los Angeles. i can never forget how the Sacred Peak flooded the entire town of Flagstaff with a Golden Blissful Light on the evening of Dewa’s birth; Dewachen means, the Golden Light Of Bliss…the Heavenly Abode of Amitabha Buddha…perhaps it is this Connection which elevates my spiritual radar when i visit here, allowing easy assimilation and extraordinary awe at the astral play of Divine Light within this mountain oasis.
tonight, it’s hard to even think about ski racing tomorrow; i’m drawn within by the Pranic potency of this special place…i continue my austerities which come easy, as if invited by the Deities themselves…i pause in my revered rhapsody only long enough to send this missive to thee…
i don’t know if my Championship fitness can hold out another day; i pray it will. tomorrow, i’ll know for sure…cuz that is the thing about Start Lines which both thrill and scare us: they never lie.
Om Tat Sat
thank you to ALL of you who helped financially to sponsor my winter racing…it’s been a Cinderella Season racing for the first time from my Durango, Colorado hometown in many, many years. So, thank you…and tonight, pray that the clock doesn’t strike midnight on my Cinderella Season before 10 am tomorrow…
