From Tride...with love

Telluride, Colorado -

sittin' here in the five star lounge of The Peaks Resort after a very INTERESTING day of shooting footage for my intended, "WF Strength Training Teachings" DVD.

i'm looking out over Wilson Peak in alpenglow at sunset.

there is, simply, no other place like Tride.

period.

this morning, my lone Assistant called in sick with the flu.

trained in Chenreezig, of course, i felt compassion for both my intended assistant and my amazing contacts at The Peaks Resort who placed their beautiful gym on VIP status for my humble video filming (ilg TAFs that they thought we were gonna blow into their gym with like a ESPN Crew with all sorts of lights and make up and stuff.) Nope. Just me and Ananda...and Dewa.

Note To Shiva, thank you for endlessly grounding and re-grounding my attempts to channel the Divine Power of the Highest Mountain Yogis to the West through feeble ilg...it's been a hilarious and testing and absolutely Blessed Journey!

Plan B; default to pure chi as always:
Ananda and i shot great footage for your DVD (least i pray that you will buy one!)...in between watching Most Precious Jewel of a Rinpoche Dewachen as She bounded off rebounders, climbing onto Squat Racks, and generally made the Iron Temple at this most luxurious resort, well, a Temple as it should be; totally Fun, Present, and Limit Testing.

no pics just yet,
just let ilg say that ilg hit this most precious mountain retreat resort at the most stunning time of autumn...our precious Aspen Beings (which may not last the life of my daughter due to Human Being's avidya) are changing in a slow motion wave of stunning colors, and i promise you'll see a teaser of this priceless display on my new DVD.

along with a whole ton of WF chi...
that i know you have counted upon,
and still count upon
each day,
in the most strangest of ways,
to keep you
- and i -
- and my own family -
centered within what matters most...

the infinite Sacredness of Realizing The Preciousness Of THIS M(om)ent...
these lungs,
these ankles,
this Mind Wave,
this smile,
this anger arising;
this confused emotional turbulence...

Noble Seekers of Wholeness...permit feeble ilg to say this much:

it's ALL SACRED
and there is a profound reason why the word, "sacred"
is so similar to the word, "scared".

cuz,
truly,
if we are not scared,
we ain't gonna find
what's truly
Sacred
to our next bec(om)ing.

tomorrow: more filming; from the seat of our pants
in the amazing Iron Temple at The Peaks Resort
Telluride, Colorado
blazing
in a firewave of aspen and autumn colors a'changin'...


Blessed Be All,
Blessed Be Thy Workout...

Toward Wholeness, Noble Ones...
Toward Wholeness...
nothing less.
