Snowboarding Day 27 Season 2011
I woke up thirsty with my tongue inflamed. I did not want to get out of bed. I realized, I am at peace. I woke up peaceful. I didn’t wake up fearing what other people’s
mood is in or how I’ll get harassed.
I made blood orange honey juice for breakfast to cool
down the inflammation. I noticed I felt
sick, sick in my 5th chakra, sick in my immune system. It’s a definite toxic attack.
The day started heavy, while reciting, the strange raging
anger flared up.
Morning contemplation
What is the root that fed the growth and creation of the leaves of these anger and rage? I must dig into this in my meditation. I can do it.

If what is on the outside isn’t true and nothing is left
for me to do. Then I should pull back, don’t get lost and follow. I should look inside and see the movements of
the mind, protect and clean up the mind within.
I finally headed out and was at the Aerial Tram at
10am. I handed two $50 vouchers to a
group of guys so they saved $84. I then
step up to the wait line and turned around to look at the ticket office and
there was a flash flood of people getting tickets. I saw a young 10 year old boy looking at me
with his father buying tickets. I saw
him looking at me wondering what happened to the coupon deal. Yes I had wanted to give to the father of
this child but I didn’t see them then.
So I went ahead and gave away my four buddy passes of benefitting indiscriminately. My only criteria was that they be there at the window
when I am there.
Sky lift was opened, I found yesterday’s powder to be
today’s snow. Still I searched for the
powder deep in the woods. It was cold
today and I could have used a thick mask for single digit temperature. Then it snowed some more when the thick grey
clouds moved in and it was a total white out as snow dumped out of the
sky. It was cold. Within an hour an inch to two covered the
slopes. And just like that the entire
mountain was a different place a different experience. There was powder everywhere. The mountain looked like it was covered in
white chocolate fondant. I started to
hoot and hauler and sing, “ love, love, love this…” All the way down the mountain through the
trees. I had fun zig zaging through the
woods. Most of all I loved looking at
trees, talking to them and watching the powder fall. I had to keep the powder from getting into my loose pants,
neck, into my goggles. I didn’t want the
day to end. At 3:30pm it was so whiteout
I seriously found it dangerous to be on the mountain. I could not see at all. Good thing I was already on my way to the
tram.
