What is love? Sometimes it is to embrace what is the most difficult & that can be breathtakingly beautiful. Play with the most difficult. The most difficult can be play! Sometimes the most difficult path is the most rewarding path. No one comes out the same way they came in. Forever changed & worth it & better for it the first time & every time! Olympic training paths are for anyone, & for you if you dare a big dare. The first time I screamed at the trees & shouted at them about the story of my own insanity for even trying. My mind broke open like an egg that first day. Only way out was through & thoughts are thoughts & feelings are enormous feelings; but on a good snow day & forward motion, the passage fully unfolds on the inside & the outside … it’s making me a whole new stronger me breathing life & beauty & the worthiness of all the challenge ahead. While I’m not in the world Olympics, I am doing my personal best Olympics & making it to “the top of the world” that is right here in our very own back yard. Jesse Diggins dug her edges in here; some of her blade strokes are hers here, I’m almost certain. Minnesotans & guests, let’s become stronger than ever, together; worthy of all the challenges ahead & glide strong & be fresh! So much easier the second & third time, and so forth! Why? Because it actually does make us stronger each & every time: that’s the nature of this path. #whatislove #difficulty #strengthtraining #strength #nature #naturalplay #play #playinthesnow #loveyourdifficulties #beauty #wilderness #wildernessculture #wildernessmeditation #wildernessawareness #bodyawareness #embody #rewild #rewilding #knowthyself #winter #minnesota #woodlandhills #minnesotawinter #nordicskiing #skateskiing #classicskiing #winterlover #awarenesspractice #silentsports #solitude (at Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7W-NopZCJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
