“ Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built.” ~ Rumi
i have been thinking a lot about WF recently and stopped by the site a few times in the last few days. Awesome stuff, i am reminded of the remarkable work you do and admire the courage you show in walking the path and the incredible amounts of sense you talk.
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.
I suppose it’s the sanest part of me that naturally gravitates toward these serrated skylines of granite, sandstone and sun-splintered early morning rapids and ripples. Perhaps the most redeeming quality that can be associated with this incarnation known as ‘ilg’ is that which has been undeniably attuned with Sacred Appreciation to the whirring symphony of hummingbirds, aspens quaking, and splashes of trout surfacing through snowmelt waters…
“…Sacred Joy is in every moment, it travels from the inside to the outside…
which is why WF trains us from inside toward the outside…”
It’s only a minute…and might? just Change your Day…perhaps your Week…perhaps your entire Karma if you Get The Wisdom of a Chi-ld Warrior….and then choose to Live The Teachings thus imparted….
“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)…
