How awesome is this? <br /><br />I have a daughter who is a professional ballerina, and a son who is a CrossFit trainer despite having had his colon removed 2 years ago due to Crohn's disease. <br /><br />I am well acquainted with that feeling of awe and admiration that accompanies the thought, "The human body should not be able to do that!"<br /><br />It is powerful, indeed, this body our soul inhabits, capable of so much more than we know.<br /><br />Bravo to those who test it and try it and explore their bodies' potential!

His view of the bike-able world is completely different from (and much more imaginative and flexible) than mine. To him I tip my helmet. I'm going to show this video to my son. I should show it to my class, too. I teach lots of kids to ride bikes and some of them like to do tricks that raise eyebrows among my colleagues. (I allow the Dannys in my class more latitude to experiment than is common.)Dan Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628603380292404658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-51315722242149430502011-01-17T08:44:10.102-05:002011-01-17T08:44:10.102-05:00Wow!!

Even walking is a diagonal movement, though we follow a forward line through time/space, we are first on one foot, then the other, arms swinging diagonally. Very cool to watch these and think about what's going onside these people.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-76839003083112790312011-01-17T06:38:07.763-05:002011-01-17T06:38:07.763-05:00ruth - five years!!! wow!! i was feeling the need ...ruth - five years!!! wow!! i was feeling the need to share something entirely human and with edge and vulnerable. thus the dance and the biking. my blog hovers for extended periods in otherness grounded in nature and i haven't quite figured out how to connect that otherness to the human condition just yet - visually that is! ongratulations ruth. i am in awe. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-75380293197195834502011-01-17T06:35:57.426-05:002011-01-17T06:35:57.426-05:00hello dan! i wonder at the choice not to wear prot...hello dan! i wonder at the choice not to wear protective gear but there's so much i don't know about how that affects what he does and then also how little help it might provide in some of his truly spectacular bails!!! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-66787426943736560022011-01-17T05:37:13.484-05:002011-01-17T05:37:13.484-05:00My Internet is boggy, so I couldn't watch much...My Internet is boggy, so I couldn't watch much of the clip, but what I saw is mesmerizing.<br /><br />I'm celebrating 5 years blogging this week, which blows my mind, it seems so long in this medium. I keep reflecting on how ethereal the medium is, in a sense, but how each of us has a body, we touch things, we live in a material world. So this street energy feels like a timely reminder-echo, that the <i>beauty we love is what we do.</i> I also know that my <i>real</i> life has changed and been expanded -- energetically - by connections with blog friends.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-41727078764701956442011-01-17T02:57:36.828-05:002011-01-17T02:57:36.828-05:00Wow!!
