“But Daaaaady…I NEED to take a picture of the Full Worm Moon, too you know…puh LEASE!!!?!”
i glanced at Amma in the short-handed visual eye communication which new parents use to circumvent the treasured milliseconds which are needed to make critical decisions ranging in everything from allowing our chi-ld to interrupt mealtime to take a picture of a beautiful moonrise to whether or not we should buy a new car (true story)…
i dunno… at this Blessed Point in my current incarnation? finishing Silver Medalist to Travis Brown, Olympic Mountain Biking and Nordic Champion is just a little waaaaay too much for feeble broken back, former paralytic ilg to even connect the Dots…let alone the fact that my new Daddy Duties and lingering 80% head congestion has completely destroyed any type of optimal prep for the brutally delicious 10k nordic slugfest today at the 9,000′ Durango Nordic venue…chalk it up to…
ilg admits; it’s been the steepest headwall i’ve ever attempted to climb
yet, thanks to my Practice begotten from my Teachers…your Teachers..our Teachers…of this
amazing Precious Path of WF?
my Essential Nature of Mind is only intensifying through the difficulty…not diminishing…
how doth the saying go?
“The interruptions ARE the Practice!”
Being threatened to vaccinate your child? Besides being a cOMplete lack of Divine Faith, succumbing your chi-ld to the pressures of vaccination rips through the physiologic vulnerability of your chi-ld’s cells (which parents are supposed to protect) causing a rampage of endocrine, immune, and God knows what other wholesale manslaughter upon the psycho/spiritual Level.
Even in the hippie-influenced, progressive, and open-minded bubbles like Flagstaff and Durango where our still-unvaccinated and surreally-healthly Dewa has spent her 4 years thus far, Ananda and i can only imagine what it must be like for some of you Conscious Parents when you want to take a stand and stop the insane influx of multiple toxic chemicals and their karmic/samskaric reverberations shot into your Precious, Pure and Wholistically Healthy infant and toddler and pre-schooler…
So, take a look at this…
Less than a month ago…the Plastic Surgeon said it would require several weeks of dubious recovery to see if Dewa’s lip and mouth would structurally heal correctly after her sledding incident……within one week of WF Nutrition? Dewa’s lip and mouth self healed at Godspeed (aka; The Speed of Enlightenment). we crushed up the MAP Amino Acids for her, she suckled at SUNRIDER’s Sunbars, and we doused her lip/mouth and skull with the Sacred Water of Asea…
…and today…even with significant psycho/spiritual trauma?
Dewa and i skied from Top To Bottom, Chapman Ski Hill without falling…
to the Champion goes the spoils…hey, in Chama, New Mexico? this huge Ristra is like a Porsche…
at this point in the story, ilg could attempt to relate the technical, high speed descents where one wrong mOMent on your skinny, edgeless skis could send you like a racing catamaran into a stout grove of aspens and/or pines waaaay bigger than you, or how i dug super deep to keep the next offending young gun or aging warrior from claiming my own sacred-sweat earned spot in the lineup….
Nor is it something you ever EVER find outside of yourself…be it through Lasers or Athletic Tape applied… It has always been yours, and helped give Birth to you, yet notwithstanding those precious m(OM)ents where you Connect Without Compromise, It still remains those aloof in-stances whereupon you have never actually seen It directly.
The yogi asked the Scientist, “Have you ever been in Love?”
