many many moons ago, in the high peaks of the Mountain Utes, there lived two mountains, indescribably beautiful. one was yang…he rested in full sunshine most of the year and all eyes of all animals were transported to his sharp yet gracefully intimidating summit spire. the other mountain was yin…she seemed to shy away from Grandfather Sky’s warm reach preferring to remain in moist shade. they fell in love and through their lovemaking which all other beings, including the Mountain Utes, felt as a series of earthquakes. a magnificent child mountain was soon born, whom they called, Aditisan (Navajo for Listener)

Oh, i did cross the Finish Line…
unlike more than half the peleton who quit. i was the last in the Lead Group and damned proud of it! Especially considering i was congested and not feeling my typical Chi!
