Wholistic Fitness

This morning?

The magnificent Deities of the WF Path once again Blessed ilg….for ilg was seeking that last, lingering spring ski day where all of my 100+ Ski Days just coalesced into a precious, humming sweet surrender of ski into soft, forgiving snow…where all my former bucking-bronco telemarks merged into a monumental line evidenced by 8 x 3,000′ vertical descents matched only by probably 3,000+ deep knee lunges linked by instantaneous fast-twitch neuro-muscular movements and present mind…this morning?  It was all Wholistic Fitness®…my breath and movement down the dwindling snowslopes of my beloved local ski hill an anthem to all which made ilg, ilg…thank YOU Deities for GRACING through feeble conduit ilg the majesty, the power, and the Ancient Warrior mystiques which is WF!   here, then, are a few shots from my Good-Bye morning to Purgatory Ski Area…

as if sung through the Talking Heads,
“This is not my beautiful Styx…”

yes, yes it is…my most cherished run of all; Styx…
shimmers in her decaying, slow melt beneath an ever empowering Grandfather Sun…

The Hell Patches of burned out section of Lower Hades reMinded ilg of the Wrathful Realms of the Bardo through which all of us must travel (again and again and endlessly again) until Enlightenment….surprisingly?  ilg scored some of my most preciously fun, scintillating tele turns through this quagmire of soft snow slinking through the emerging brush…

Graysill Mountain seductively slinks into the horizon line from Lower Hades headwall…

We cannot hope to die peacefully if our lives have been full of violence, or if our minds have mostly been agitated by emotions like anger, attachment, or fear. So if we wish to die well, we must learn how to live well: Hoping for a peaceful death, we must cultivate peace in our mind, and in our way of life.
