throughout my life, a Rainbow of Inner Wealth has always seemingly splashed upon my high mountain autumns…
the Temple Cats curl into cozy fur balls. it requires great restraint to walk past them without wanting to just…just…well, you know…
my Early Morning Kin-Hin Meditations and Rituals before the Garden Buddha take on new layers of concentration whilst the flesh of my fingers freeze. the Buddha did not flinch in the Cold Bardo; neither, i resolve, shall i! 
consistent frosts now spark the time to prune trees and shrubs, inviting a new layer of genuine Feng Shui to the Temple Grounds. Gardening now becomes deep and potent meditations.
even wearing YogaToes®, a traditional Temple Practice must be cleverly arranged beneath warm socks!
i have always Taught you that High Performance pivots upon the Self Discipline of Abhyasa (steadfast Practice).
My Practice Stats from October:
Oct
Strength Training = 3 Hours down by 2 from Sept.
Cardio = 39.25 Hours or 1.26 per day. down by 3/4 hour
Yoga = 58.25 Hours or 1.87 hours per day; up by 6.25 hours
Meditation = 46.25 Hours or 1.50 hours per day up by 1.25 hours
Nutrition = average of 1,692/kcals day; up by 97 kcals
why am i so big on Preparing the internal body for High Performance?
Because the Inner Discipline manifests in the Results…
from those Practice Stats came these Results:
Oct. 1; 7th place; War Dog Half Marathon Mountain Run (except i turned it into a Duathlon!)
Oct. 7; Win and set a new Course Record at the Gaspin’ In The Aspen Mountain Duathlon.
Oct. 14; 3rd Place in 40-49 at the Soulstice Mountain Trail Race (except, i turned it into a Duathlon!)
oh sure, you might think my Mr. Bones transformation mighta scared the schnoodle outta the kids on Halloween, right?
well, you’re damn right! me and my Lovely Witch plus a few of my Goblin Friends sent kids screaming down Darleen Drive!

Dance in your bones,
until you shatter yourself, said Rumi…
