What came to mind was the value of the present moment and the awareness that peaks and valleys only exists as references to each other.
Last night as I was choosing to ironman race that I would be playing with this year, so many things came into play. I generally do not discuss this with anyone, this time I decided to tell my mom before I signed up. I’ve shared with others too. The first thing that comes up from them “you don’t know how to swim” and they are correct, I do not consciously know how to swim. I know this, but I generally don’t live in it particularly as I am a cliff diver.
Anywho, your post invited me into my practice of opportunity. I can play with swim lessons. And that’s all that’s here. Deciding where I will take the swim lessons. The Ironman is not a competition for me, it’s a witnessing of what’s here. And in this case, swim lessons are here. The enjoyment of newness is here. This is what I love about body wisdom, it’s to be witnessed and play with (in my world).
So rich, Crystal. I love how even entertaining the idea of Ironman led you to what's present and actionable right now. I feel very similarly about my book idea. It's like...the book was the spark for what's longing to come through right now, which invites us deeper into the present moment. Gosh, I feel so affirmed by this! Haha. Thank you for sharing.
I enjoyed the travel of the winding road.

Thank you for the practice as always.
