FIERCE ELEGANCE: HOW DO YOU CHOOSE TO FILL UP?
***WF Online Student Sophia, enjoys a spontaneous Trikonasana while hiking. ***
How are you choosing to fill up, during your life?
Think long term: is it depleting or full-filling?
What are you choosing to Practice, during your life?
Is it depleting or full-filling?
What are you contributing to the Uni-Verse (One-Poem) with your Actions of Living?
Is it depleting or full-filling?
After a “long day at work”…how DO you choose to fill up?
Before that “long at day work”…how DO you choose to prepare yourself?
people say “I don’t have time to read DIRECT LINES…i already spend too much time at the computer.”
i ask you,
with exactly WHAT do you choose to fill up your precious Mind, Body, and Spirit?
while the UnAwakended watch TV
the yogin is meditating, or sweating.
“Thinking (cinta) about Reality is highest; thinking about recitation is middling; thinking about the textbooks (shastra) is low; thinking about the world is lowest.”
– Kula-Arnava-Tantra, 9;35 (composed between 1000-1400 CE)
about the only spot you need to visit each day on the Internet, i swear to the Deities, is
DL…sure, take a quick glance at the online newspapers; read all the garbage, the depressing politics, the gossip…

*** “HP Yogin “Jamin” from Oregon, jammin’ across the Finish Line at Salt Lake City. WF Warriors Sweat Their Prayers!***
and read about REAL WARRIORS who
in-Form the outer world
by the grace and presence of the cultivation of their INNER world!
feeble ilg says;
attend to your Inner (world/workouts)
and your Outer (world/workouts) will present the Truth-Full Divine Dance in front of you.
*** Ron Jones, Sr makes no excuses for his age or abilities in HP Yoga and WF…you know what he does?
He PRACTICES each DAY! Don’t get fancy, just get consistent and AWAKEN-MENT will arrive! ***
Today, my Mighty Armed and Mighty Minded Warrior,
go into your Precious Day and
LET NO THING or NO ONE
dare stand in the Way of your Inner Ascent!
be Fierce in your creation of time for solo Practice,
be Fiercely Elegant in your stance,
be Fiercely Elegant in your sharing,
Fiercely Elegant in your compassion,
Fiercely Elegant in your ability to skillfully Love…
Fiercely Elegant in your suffering…even if you get hit by a cell phone talking
car addict and find yourself bleeding and waving in and out of consciousness
next to your gnarled and twisted bicycle in the gutter…you know what?
even then, Oh Noble Warrior,
i want you to Practice…
i want you to Practice harder at that time then ever before…
i want you to be Fiercely Elegant in your dying…
because, lying in a bloody gutter of Nobility with your bicycle
or just reading this DL with the Fierce Grace of your Breath and Posture,
we are, my Friend…dying.
There is no better or worse Way to leave the Stage;
skin cancer is just a valid Stage Exit than getting hit by a car addict while on
your bicycle.
However, it is the amount of time you have spent developing your consciousness,
in meditation, in Practice,
that will count most in your dying…
WAKE UP to the fact that you are DYING
and then, Noble Warrior, you will TRULY begin to LIVE!
the simple fact of death and decomposition,
that simple realization is what should make THIS DAY,
THIS MOMENT
a most Precious Treasure of your Blessed Life.
as i swallow,
as i breathe,
a bird chirps,
the freeway sounds like an Ocean of Wisdom
and
i smile at how this Moment suddenly fills me up…
time to get on the bicycle…and come what may.
love,
coach ilg

glad you liked the quote.
do not put off reading DL too easily; DL is the electronic Scripture for those who Sweat and Sit Still.
That quote arrived as do all my InSights…
through the most important time in a human’s daily life:
Solo Practice.
may your daily visits to Direct Lines
empower your own Daily Practice and keep it strong and sincere,
love,
