"...as a Yogi Father,
i NEEDED
my Daughter to witness
for Her cellular, spiritual profundity,
the quixotic juxtaposition of
snow (sauca),
night sky (yin),
cold (ida),
fire (pingala/yang),
smoke (bardo),
and the
burning (death)
of Bader.
Her 15 month-old eyes wide as the alpine meadow above which we live...
She pointed to Grandmother Moon, saying,
"Tah! Tah!" (HaTha Yoga means; Sun/Moon Yoga)
my Ritual went deep.

there is never a need,
and seldom should there be an urge to feel,
that what i have attempted to impart to you about WF
hold any religious connotation on your Sadhana.
inDeed,
religion and Sadhana are at polarity.
the former attempts to organize spirit through second-handed (multi million-handed more like it) dissemination
while the latter
is as spontaneous as a cloud and equally as moving.
for some of you my topic of tonight,
on this night of nights...
which drew my senses inward as Grandmother in her January best,
began to rise seductively over the shoulder of Mt. Elden,
may not fit
into your notion
of Fitness
yet,
to the Master Student of WF,
certainly,
how we treat our Christmas Tree Beings
reveals much about our standing-under (aka; understanding)
of what Yogi Christ attempting to Tranmsit to us
about Compassion,
Tolerance,
and
Loving Kindness.
give pause here, Noble Yogi.
ask Thyself:
"How did i handle my Christmas Tree Being this year?"
more pertinent to tonights' Teaching is another question:
"How did i choose to Take Leave of my Christmas Tree?"
should you think the latter question is non-relevant to your notion
of personal fitness,
of yoga,
of your entire spiritual growth process?
perhaps you should
Take Leave of this humble,
powerful Path
which i've designed to constantly
continuously bring the stalwart spiritual seeker
into a direct confrontation with his or her Mind
at every Blessed Step of their Journey Higher.
it occurs to me
that studying WF
- sincerely, i mean -
is like living in a cage of tigers.
hungry tigers...
