In Tibetan spiritual literature, there is a saying; "Embrace your ten thousand horrible demons and your ten thousand beautiful demons."
In other words; embrace and use it all.
On Saturday, i had a whole laundry list of perfectly fine excuses not to wake up in the freezing cold and run a 10k Mountain Race.
Certainly, anyone would understand a new daddy of a month old baby who just spent the last week in the Intensive Care Unit not doing some silly mountain running race.
A mountain running race is, to me however, as priceless and sacred a form of bettering myself than anything else on this amazing plane(t). Running in that silly mountain race is to me a church going, and who among us would think that going to church, especially after a supremely challenging week, is non-sense? Weird how some pass judgment on another's choice of worship. Why should praying in a pew be Higher than praying among pines? Why should an offering of money to a priest be considered Higher than the offering of sweat into Father Sky?
The very fact that i toed that Start Line yesterday makes this Race Report more meaningful to me than many of my World Championships.
i feel ilg growing in Ways and Layers that extend well, well beyond the paltry piecework of words and forms.
