Friday The 13th AND A Full Harvest Moon


August was just one of those months and I am beyond thankful I made it through. I wanted to wear my piss pants all month but another perspective altered my state of mind and my big boy pants were found. A friend of mine was diagnosed with lung cancer AND the first round of treatment was rejected by his own bodies immune system. Phuc


AUGUST NUMBERS

Hours - 56 of them
Miles - 664
PR's - 33 but most of those were recorded in Paonia on the same single track sections
Activities - 40
Hiking - 42 miles - Isn't That Always The Number
Travel - 4 Days
Days Off The Bike - 2
Push Ups - 2,200


RADIO SHOW
This show predominantly kicked A$$ despite me and my running at the mouth dialog. I made so many boneheaded statements and kinda wished I hadn't spewed over the airwaves. For example, I said Robert Plant when I was about to play Robert Palmer. Stupid Sh*T Like That!! What The Flock Of Seagulls?!?!? This particular Radio Rapture ( click that link to stream for next two weeks ) showcased Classic Rock, Shel Silverstein poetry/spoken word, and I pushed the edge in hopes that only my shoes would be discovered behind the board afterwards. If you allow yourself to stream over the course of the next two weeks, you shall be treated to a shakespearian journey. I aired the great Jimi, The Association - Along Came Mary, Santana - Primera, Stephen Stills - Sit Yourself Down, Todd Rundgren - Black & White, Cream - Swlabr, Jethro Tull - Mother Goose, Robert Plant - 29 palms, Robert Palmer - Sneakin Sally Through The Alley, The Band - Daniel & The Sacred Harp, and my very own creative mix of Jefferson Airplane/The Blueman Group mash up of White Rabbit. Hell, That's Worthy Of A Listen In Itself. Oh Baby


ORTHO

Check out my spirit animal. This taxidermy owl hovers on the wall at the Highline State Park and I couldn't pass up that opportunity. Just over a decade ago, during a personal facilitation class, we executed a meditation exercise regarding our Medicine Animal. You wouldn't believe what prevailed that time. Less than a year later, another Spirit Animal guided meditation produced an owl in flight in my third eye.


So why share this??? Well, it all ties in with a rescript session with a troubled client. They experienced a traumatic ( very mild in the bigger picture ) incident and this shows up in their Rhomboids, Subscapularis, and Erectors in general. And in the body metaphor world, In The Past.


We worked through about a 30 minute "vision" quest together. Their eyes were closed and I guided them through a "forest" with possibly different outcomes from what they were "dealing" with. About 10 minutes or so, we reached a standard point of choices, I was surprised by what rolled over their tongue. Later, while we began the return to the table, office, and session in general, their shoulders began a shimmy shimmy shake, their neck elongated with a chin protraction movement, their hips to their feet rolled out from a medial orientation to laterally outward position. They even made the comment," I have never taken a breath like that before." That session was more rewarding than just an exchange of payment. It Was Rejuvenating



GOALS
  1. Adding In Longer Rides While Chasing Shorter Days
  2. 3,000 Push Ups For The Month
  3. 100 Miler 
  4. Maintain Composure Next Week
  5. Spend Some Quality Time Above Tree-Line Before The Flakes Fall  



Until Next Entry, Stay Strong Folks
Cheers

    1. Yes, Extremely Arid. This past Spring was very difficult for me as all the locals pointed out how much snow pack was up on the mountains. But what they refused to comprehend was that the snow carried minimal water content, almost non of that available water leached down through the soil, and the spring well were still bone dry. Sure, the Mighty Colorado River came up but all that usable water just floated right on by. Right now, this Fall, we are in dire straits!!

      Anyway, been enjoying your new camera???? Hope so. Thanx for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend. All The Best!!

      Cheers

  6. Sorry for your friend. I hope that the things go well for him.
    Good luck on your goals.
    Robert Plant is one of my favorite singer and 29 palms is a great song! Because of my job I worked with a school mate of Robert (now he is a retired Universitary teacher) he said that Plant has always been a nice person and he lived for the music singing all the time.

    1. Brother Black, I Have A Similar Story But With Eddie Money. I Was Completely Shocked By Hiss Passing As He Just Played A Fabulous Show This Spring. His Kids All Played The Instruments And Eddie Stayed Around To Sign ALL Autographs. Nobody Was Turned Away. A Real Top Shelf Kinda Guy.

      Thanx For Stopping By And What Did You Think Of The Rest Of The Show?? Some Real Hidden Gems In There, A??

      Cheers

    2. Often the hidden gems are better than the famous songs.

  7. So sad re your friend Padre, hopefully subsequent treatments will be more successful. Gosh you really push yourself to the limits I hope you factor in some chill time.

    1. Well On My Way!! As For Those Push Ups, I Was Performing Sets Of 50 Whenever I Thought About It. I Then Stopped Counting And Just Pushed Through. Eventually I Just Stopped.

      I Stated Back Up This Spring But Without Any Real Direction Or Focus. I Am Trying To Do About 100 A Day But Slowing Them Way Down And Controlling My Body Alinement. Been Enjoying The Plank Position Again As Well.

      Anyway, Will See And Keep You Posted On The Progress,
      Cheers

  12. So very sorry about your friend. My dad is having very very risky cancer surgery right now. I agree - cancer sucks (that's an understatement).

    I love that the best part of your month was helping that patient. You are a good person.
