Namaste Noble Fitness Warriors –
“When you know how to listen
everybody is the guru.”
– Ram Dass
riding through mist
bicycle tires
dewy asphalt
sitting zazen
early morning
sounds of gong
seventy miles focused on holding onto
whirring wheels of professional cyclists
with zazen mind
and ballooning lungs
burning fat
developing spirit
yawning open the shoulder joints
such restriction
so slow to release
so beautiful to work on
yoga is amazing
gym turns into just another
yoga studio
mind with bodypart
no inch of no limb is moved
without deep consciousness
smiling at strangers
knowing there are no strangers
just friends along the Path of Awakening
at different levels
eating herbs
mastery over food
lean
light
sincerely rising above
negative habits
not just by working out
but
working within
these are precious days
thesea are Wholistic Fitness days
yeah, baby!
breathe well, have faith, cultivate determination
i bow to you,
coach ilg
