have you watched the Olympics this year?  there’s a new sport called Ski Cross.  it’s basically a combination of moto-cross and downhill skiing.  you’re competing against three other people over bumps, peaks, hills, jumps, curves, etc on skis… the main compelling force being gravity.  if you want to be successful, you not only give in to gravity, but you join forces with it in a big way.  gravity becomes your ally – you sink down into its pull and allow it to help you sail over obstacles. but you have to be respectful & not give it full control as it pulls you into turns & dangerously off course.  so it’s a balancing act between submitting fully and gratefully to this ever present force and gently resisting it to remain on track. 

yep.  kinda like life.  i had a ski cross kind of day today.

it’s a good thing.
