my beloved Chestnut-backed Juncos – a clinal variation of the more common Dark-eyed Juncos – have been with me my whole life in these southwest mountains.

Namaste Noble Fitness Warriors!
Yesterday, while nordic skiing at 8,600′, i came upon a flock of 25+ Wild Turkeys in the snow covered aspen/pondersosa fields. It was an amazing chi moment; rare and treasured! What percentage of American’s have been Blessed enough to enter such a Glorious GodGift of a moment!? Now, that GodGift is endlessly etched within my cells. Such images, when recollected with Conscious Appreciation, are ones which will raise my Vibration during my dying moments. I will enter the Bardo with a smile long and weathered from my many chi moments within high mountains and red rock deserts. It is such Wild Turkey Moments While Skiing that are the supreme benefits of remaining fit – not so much how many trophies you might win or how many calories you burn. Somehow, i must get this notion into Mainstream Americans…inspire their willingness to do whatever it takes to sweat within Mother Nature’s unconditional hug. Above (click on photo to enlarge), the Junco’s darling and hallmark popping about on top of freshly fallen snow outside the WF Temple H(om)e belies the truth of the matter; these Feathered Beings are starving and desperate for calories after surviving another night-time blizzard. I have spent enough Canadian winter mountaineering nights to feel deeply for any Living Being that lives naked and alone through long, cold winters. Flagstaff is expected to receive another 13-18″ of snow again this weekend. So much for my “spring campaign” of road bike training!

Yesterday, my recent DL paragraph, included as a mere footnote, touched several of you…

My ultra-distance racing teammate and World Record Holder, Ron Jones (on my immediate left pictured above, then Keith Kostman and Roy Wallack…photo by LA Times), a DL Fanatic is one of my readers that has learned to sense the Metaphorical Space between and within my DL Meditations. RJ, whose contributions to DL have always elicited great input, writes below:

“bro,
Ilg wrote: “Non Practitioners only feed birds when it is convenient for
them to do so, ignorant that they have conditioned the beautiful birds
to become dependent on their feeder as a Food Source. Snow/cold comes,
and the Non-Practitioners – addicted to comfort – stay huddled in their
warm homes while their Feeder is empty causing hysteria and suffering
among the Bird Beings that they supposedly ‘love’ so much! here i am
getting Bird Chow to my beloved Bird Beings…yogis must often care for
many other Beings due to the ignorance of Non-Pracitioners.”

Stunning DL Bro…it resonates with truth man with the sharpness of a
warrior’s sword. How true. How clean is truth man-the cut is direct
without deviance. This “bird” talk has sooo many applications man to
those addicted to comfort mofos that abound…thanks…I bow.

RJ’s new DVD, expected to be released this April, is a fantastic Active Warm Up; applicable to everyone. I saw RJ move through this warm up before we won Furnace Creek 508…you will LOVE it! stay tuned to DL for its official release!
