ilg is re-discovering the “5” in “51”
by simply listening, responding, and playing with Dewa; my live-in residential Dharma Teacher.
my personal goal this Yogi Jesus Birthday was to spend every m(om)ent of it within reach of my two girls embrace instead of running out and training, computer work, etc..for an Outdoor Athlete like ilg? still a tall order, yet must say, such d(om)esticated days fuel the Soul in ways unparticular to my gunic nature which is Go(o)d for me…
How Blessed C(om)e the inner rewards to the families who do what it takes to get out and do?
“Beloved Coach,
i was Full of Fire tonight for my L(ate)MR practice (as opposed to EMR!) followed by the Basic HP Prop workout. Mostly because of a lovely girl i’ve met, and all that experience is triggering…whoa…HEAVY STUFF, MAN!!! i am so fear-full of falling in love again and flowing with all that seems to entail…all of the change…all of the vulnerability…”
COACH RESPONDS:
DADDY: you know what sweetheart?
DEWA: what?
i’m sure you’ve felt this too, cuz, well, you know…you ARE a Kids Author…but, when i write books? they just kinda bleed from me…
the yogi has no place,
no space…
just a Dance
Gifted from the Divine…
whether others understand this Sacred Dance?
does not matter…
what matters?
the Dancing…
through It All (Lila)…
“Daddy?”
“Yes, Sweetheart?”
“Sometimes, when we are fishing…i feel so peaceful…like…yoga.”
“That’s an awesome sharing, Dewa! thank you! yeah, i reckon fishin’ is just another form of yoga…if it’s yogis that are fishin!”
“Hey, WE are yogis!”
“That’s right, daughter, we ARE yogis!”
