reclaiming life…

Video description:
Watch Arthur Boorman’s amazing journey — filmed and edited by his 19-year-old son Warren — as he sets a goal to walk again and to reclaim his life. An Army veteran who was hurt in the first Gulf War, Arthur suffered for 15 years with the effects of a botched surgery that left him unable to walk without the assistance of leg braces and canes. By February 2007, he had ballooned to 297 pounds and, by his own admission, was waiting to die.

In looking for a yoga program to alleviate some of his constant pain, Arthur found the YRG workout created by Diamond Dallas Page. He gained inspiration and strength from DDP and other members of Team YRG to propel him toward his goal — “I Will Walk Again!” — and, ultimately, to blow past it. Watch here as Arthur vividly demonstrates that life is not about how many times you fall down — it’s about how many times you get up.

Personal Message from Diamond Dallas Page:
Everything happens for a reason and Arthur Boorman coming into my life was no mistake … We met online when I sent him a follow-up e-mail after he bought the YRG Workout … We talked about how he had lost control of his life and how his wife and kids were on a path to losing him for good …

After a few weeks of doing YRG, Arthur sent me an e-mail with an update that ended with the goal he had set for himself: I WILL WALK AGAIN! … Even I, the guy they call “Mr. Positivity,” wondered if it was possible …

But as you’ll see from this video, Arthur proves that anything is possible … This video is a labor of love from Arthur’s son, and it’s a testament to the power we all have to own our lives when we set goals and focus on achieving them … No matter how many times I watch this video, I come away amazed by Arthur and just so proud of him … If you want to see more, go to www.yrgworkout.com …

 

the Sistine Chapel of crystals…

Giant Crystal Cave Comes to Light

National Geographic News, April 9, 2007—Geologist Juan Manuel García-Ruiz calls it “the Sistine Chapel of crystals,” but Superman could call it home.

A sort of south-of-the-border Fortress of Solitude, Mexico‘s Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of Crystals) contains some of the world’s largest known natural crystals—translucent beams of gypsum as long as 36 feet (11 meters).

How did the crystals reach such superheroic proportions?

In the new issue of the journal Geology, García-Ruiz reports that for millennia the crystals thrived in the cave’s extremely rare and stable natural environment. Temperatures hovered consistently around a steamy 136 degrees Fahrenheit (58 degrees Celsius), and the cave was filled with mineral-rich water that drove the crystals’ growth.

Modern-day mining operations exposed the natural wonder by pumping water out of the 30-by-90-foot (10-by-30-meter) cave, which was found in 2000 near the town of Delicias (Chihuahua state map). Now García-Ruiz is advising the mining company to preserve the caves.

“There is no other place on the planet,” García-Ruiz said, “where the mineral world reveals itself in such beauty.”

holy humor…

“And to me, seriousness is a sickness; and the sense of humor makes you more human, more humble. The sense of humor ― according to me ― is one of the most essential parts of religiousness.”      Osho
