***
pic above by daddy of Dewachen ilg (10) at timberline this morning during Her amazing 2:24 effort up the 3.8 mile, 3,300′ of vert to nab the Deadwood Peak summit (12,282′) seemingly with apparent physical ease and mental alacrity and chronic spiritual joy both up and down!
dis is YOGA!!!
funny thing about this pic?
when feeble ilg was Dewa’s age?
ilg spent a LOT of my time in this same posture and in this same longing and in this same loving
of these SAME Sacred Peaks!
go figure.
Beyond words what it meant to guide Dewachen up Deadwood Peak this morning… we kissed at the 27 switchbacks, we shared Dharma, we shared water and gummies and we allowed the Rock Beings to talk, and we did it all two-gether waaaaaaay high above It All!
