this recent Paleolithic sensationalism which is based on consuming the often toxic flesh (in both spiritual and physical aspects) of today’s animals (ala Cordain) to mimic the composition of the “evolutionary diet” is a bad joke at best. There are so many unAwakened flaws in this approach, that I could write a fetching, sensationalistic (and probably best-selling) book on the imbecilic basis of attempting to convince mainstream Americans that they can and should eat anciently.
i took this pic from about mile 7.5 up our 10 mile dirt road climb on our road bike during the Tuesday Night World’s Ride this evening here in Durango…a definite A-list of the local pro’s…i didn’t finish last…second to last, but not last! that little green blob in the center of this pic is the Animas River Valley…that is how high up we climb on this 3,000′ climb before shaking our molars out on the washboard descent and then roaring back to town at 23mph!

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…
