A Journey Into Stillness and Snow…

with Coach & Ananda

quotes by Rumi

i took Ananda up to LA’s local “ski lifts”…the mystically veiled Mt. Baldy…

only open when the Sky Gods gift the City Of Angels with a thunder of snow…

like this morning…

(better put on some beautiful new age or yogi music for this one}

Ananda and i wish to dedicate this entry to our beautiful and most noble Online Warrioress,

Doreen Starling and to her partner and fellow WF Online Student Bryan Hantman.

we bow as deep as we can to the Beauty of You Both…may all our Students benefit vibrationally

from your songlike strength and divine demeanor throughout your High Challenge…

in-Joy…

“Sell your cleverness and purchase bewilderment.” dusting of snow upon roadside pines.



“Where will you plant your grief-seeds? we need GROUND to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.”

roadside Fan Palms and granite chunks at 3,500′, 12 miles away from the 210 Freeway



“I’ve given up on my brain,

I’ve torn the cloth to shreds and thrown it away.

If you are not completely naked, wrap your beautiful robe of words around you and…SLEEP.”

high fog, big tree, old school chairlift…lyrical images of being drawn toward that which is Higher than what you are able see.



“Don’t be a fool! Nothing can grow until the ground is turned over and crumbled. There can be no roses and no orchard without first this that looks devasting.”

pinecones suspended.



“When your love contracts in anger, the atmosphere itself feels threatening. But when you’re expansive, no matter what the weather, you’re in an open, windy field…



…with friends.”

my brave and beautiful Warrioress Ananda, looking as she all-Ways does…

toward the Light of the Situation…and choosing, time and time again,

to live from that Lightward Way.



“Your spirit needs to follow the changes happening in the spacious place it knows about.”



“You that come to birth and bring the mysteries, your voice-thunder makes us very happy. Roar, Lion of the Heart, and tear me open.”

coach, free heelin’ it in powder on cross country skis…where the sport began…don’t forget the roots of tradition…LIVE THEM!



“Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring on the door. Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who’s there.”

coach arcs into another free-heeled turn…seeking the Truth of breath, movement, and nature again and again, and endlessly again…
