phew…Daddy just finished waxing 4 pairs of nordic ski’s (2 skate, 2 classic) plus snowshoes packed, loaded, and ready to reclaim my King of the Mountain Title over the next 2 days of nordic ski racing and snowshoe racing at the Chama Ski Classic…hum SAH!!! Live the Path, baby!
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….
precisely one week after crashing face-first at mach sledding speed into a metal bench, Dewachen Ilg’s healing capacity literally made the operating doctor shake his head…his mind boggled at the one week healing transformation. however, in our WF World? such accelerated Self Healing is what has built the power and wisdom of this Fitness Tribe for the past 3.5 decades!
December 22nd: Amma (Joy) chanting the Sacred Mantra to our daughter as the drug begins to put Dewachen into a Bardo Realm…a harrowing experience that no parent ever wants to see…photo by ilg (who was chanting as well)
to how many Durangatangs is this scene riveted into our Samskaric make up? Grandfather Sun winking over Pandemonium…pic by ilg this afternoon.
ilg has skied 14 of the last 16 days…and that type of diligence, when directed, pays off. for ilg, today? it paid off in a most resplendent, surreal, and Significant Wholistic Shift Higher!!! read on…
i felt the immense and sudden impact of a hundred thousand Conscious Parenting hours hit me in that one heart opening confession of my Chi-ld being so present with her feelings and her trust in me to provide for her…
OM NAMAHA, NAMA MAHAYOGI JESUS!
OM NAMAHA, NAMA MAHAYOGI SANTA!
from our Clan to yours…enjoy, sweat through, and appreciate the Holidays!!!
after two weeks of snowshoe training here at Ski Hesperus, my tracks – both old and new – appear to ilg as Tibetan Prayer Banners; for each one was made with the Sacred Mantra as background to my heaving cardio efforts…
