“The next breath,  or the next life…we never know which may come first,” as my Tibetan Spiritual Teachers drilled into me…ilg shall never forget this m(om)ent when i first looked at my daughter’s blood-splattered snowsuit on the ONLY TIME i did not supervise her winter sledding and she ended up in the ER…below,  Daddy Warrior KB  relates a similarly Divine M(om)ent of our Spiritual Testing of Attachment/Aversion and how his reliance upon WF helped him…

Dear Coach:

Took my youngest son and his friend to the local BMX – Jump park on Saturday so they could unwind and catch flight. About an hour into it I heard kids yelling about a crash. I immediately looked for my child and his friend and did not see my boy so I started walking in the direction of the group of kids.

When I got there I saw my boy on his back not moving with his face covered in blood. He was out cold. I dialed 911 and ran through the ABCD’s I was taught in Wilderness First Aid training.

He came to after a minute or so and we kept him immobile and calm as we could until the paramedics arrived. After a few hours in the hospital we were able to take him home and he should have a full recovery.

The 911 operator asked me at one point if I knew how to get ahold of his parents and when I told her I was his dad she was shocked that I had been so calm and helpful. I realized later that I was telling myself to breath deep and low starting with the walk over to the crash site and all throughout the ordeal. I learned this from you Coach and have practiced it during 100′s of self-imposed stressful situations, but never during something like this.

Well, it worked. Thanks for helping me help my son when he needed me most.

Head bowed…
