Of Skiing Spirals and Circles…and Signature Lines…

This is why feeble ilg calls Wholistic Fitness™ the true practice of peace, the true practice of nonaggression and nonviolence, and the real and greatest disarmament toward that which hinders us from Enlightenment in the Bardo; our egoic attachment. Tis better to cultivate an Endless Beginner’s status and keep working our weaknesses instead of becoming famous and applauded in our specific and Divinely-granted strengths…Contemplate these words until we meet again, Noble Warriors toward Wholeness….be free and roar toward Enlightenment…
