pic by HP Yogin Kavík of your feeble teacher of no-thing embracing Rinpoche Dewachen Ilg (11) as She CLOBBERED Her 15-Under Categories in both the 6k Classic Ski, 6k Snowshoe and went on to finish 6th Overall in the Adult Combination. Her daddy did okay too; 5th OA in 18k Freestyle Ski, 1st Overall […]
Yup… we are looking at ilg’s breakfast this morning after my Early Morning Ritual® which included a sustained enjoyment of my Medicine Spider Inversion/Backbend Routine® into Standing Medicine Spider Routine® (which – btw – took out 90% of an uncharacteristically tweaked lower back weirdness felt upon awakening…). cast-iron skillet on Medium laced with Olive Oil, […]

Ilg will be smiling upon my aero bars, hunkered low against Sister Wind, snapping my thighs at the top tube, recollecting my times offering my sweat upon the scared snows while ski racing, snowshoeing, and doing the MULTISPORT DANCE!
Wholeness lives in versatility.
Never count out your ‘lack of specific training’…that’s an illusion of the sport-specific Clans…so predictable in their lack of wholeness, in their lack of trust in It All…
by the Turn Around point at 7.6 miles? i knew i was going strong; sure i had moments of weakness…ahamkara (ego) pleading, “Stop this pain!
