yes, this is Dewa. eyes transfixed by the TV. while eating dinner. with a remote within hands’ reach.
go ahead pass judgment if you feel the need.
then, let ilg explain the context within the Wholistic Conscious Parenting Paradigm…
you’ll be surprised at the spiritual essence taking place in this shot and i dare you to rise to her

So, up those seemingly endless, sky-high, snow-surrounded mountain passes, i cultivated the Witness Within. i practiced watching my effort -detached – without form watching the formfull. Basically? ilg just ‘watched ilg pedal up the mountain.’ This ‘witnessing’ technique is an ancient spiritual warrior tool for transforming suffering into mere effort. Suffering has emotional baggage, however pure Effort is Suffering without the emotional baggage.
… and now my love of focused fun
among snow covered woods,
pine-lathered mountains, and
high, rocky peaks where only Pika play and occasional Hawks reach their wings into majesty…

Dewa’s lip and mouth self healed at Godspeed (aka; The Speed of Enlightenment). we crushed up the MAP Amino Acids for her, she suckled at SUNRIDER’s Sunbars, and we doused her lip/mouth and skull with the Sacred Water of Asea…
…and today…even with significant psycho/spiritual trauma?
Dewa and i skied from Top To Bottom, Chapman Ski Hill without falling…
