so, why does ilg take sooo long to produce certain things like my own SR Website?

well, i’ve got many things ‘on my plate’ these days…
oh no, not so much having a 8-month old at age 45…(well, 46 this week!)

no, no, no…it’s not running half-a-dozen international Dharma-based businesses, 4 blogs, media projects, private and public yoga teaching,…

no…it ain’t even the fact that i have to now cheer for my lifetime old nemesis of the Colorado Avalanche, the DETROIT RED WINGS to win the Stanley Cup that are sapping my time…

and it sure as Heaven ain’t my Sadhana…i always create time – no matter what – for my Practices – both inner and outer…i am of no Go(o)d to ANY of my students or to my family if i slack on my own Sadhana!

it’s the hummingbirds…

Hummingbirds?

yes,
my Beloved Hummers…

as you can see by the opening photo taken yesterday before my hour run, Kinlani has been Graced by a most delicious snowstorm! oh the smells, the muted sounds of a wet, sensual forest which surrounds my Temple H(om)e…

yet, for the few Hummingbirds (Broad Tailed and Ruby Throated to be exact) which arrive before Memorial Day, it’s Bardo Dancing Days for their little, amazing physiology. unable to adequately fend off these cold, near freezing nights with their paltry body temperature, these remarkable Feathered Beings survive these cold mountain nights by going into a stupor…as the morning arrives, they (hopefully) come out of their dormant state and we can only imagine (if not reMember with our Hummingbird incarnations) the tremendous Fear and Need for high-sugar flowers to literally lift them from dead and into their normal physiologic parameters which includes an astonishing ‘resting’ heart rate of 250 bpms! to run an engine like that requires straight sugar…naturally from flowers, however, since there ain’t no flowers blooming up here at 7,200′ yet, it requires Steadfast Practice from us Awake Human Beings to consistently supply high-sugar feeder water for these precious Beings!

as it continued to snow yesterday, i regularly went out and swiped the snow off the little feeder holes in my two feeders so they could access the sugar water. poor things…i watched them throughout the day…my anxiousness for their survival growing as the cold day pressed toward a freezing night…would they survive? i kept Teaching my family to be appreciative of our warm shelter and abundant food…”think of our Hummingbird Beings out there tonight…frozen in stupor, shivering, wet…

perhaps it is because i can now access through Meditation, some of my former lives…well, at least the Fear inherent to many of my Animal Realm incarations…and, even as recently as this LifeTime for me; it is easy to recall all my hypothermic dazes up in the High Mountains of Turtle Island as a winter mountaineer, shivering, not knowing if i would survive the night…or the next day…

having been there so often,
this lifetime and my others,
how can my Heart NOT open in Compassion for my Beloved, Brave, and utterly BEAUTIFUL Hummingbird Brothers and Sisters?

i love them so…

i devote this DL and my SUNRIDER Website
to all Hummingbird Beings
past,
present,
and future…
