“Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child does shall not enter it at all.”
“ Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built.” ~ Rumi
Despite the fact that the entire place is run like some sort of aging Texan mafia, and that nearly every staff member is a walking heart attack just waiting to happen, they are also all deeply adoring of kids, family, and really, really good southern-style food. And, of course, all things Texan.
have you ever been sooo exhausted from such a fun and fitness-filled family vacation that you need ANOTHER vacation just to recover?!? just back from an AMAZINGLY BLESSED 5 days of scintillating Southwest Wholistic Fitness Family fun…full story plus Dharma c(om)ing only to Members at: www.WholisticFitness.com
Congratulations Dewachen Catherine Ilg for performing soooo amazingly well at PreSchool! Having never been to DayCare and with only a handful of babysitting hours in your life, you really stepped up BIG TIME to your first school year (even if it was only 3 half-days per week!)…
So, up those seemingly endless, sky-high, snow-surrounded mountain passes, i cultivated the Witness Within. i practiced watching my effort -detached – without form watching the formfull. Basically? ilg just ‘watched ilg pedal up the mountain.’ This ‘witnessing’ technique is an ancient spiritual warrior tool for transforming suffering into mere effort. Suffering has emotional baggage, however pure Effort is Suffering without the emotional baggage.
