Canadian Yogic Meditation part 1A Story by Richard GuimondComparative cultural observations; more precisely on the concept of '' Snow Blowing ''.I
was out there in the white canadian tundra (my drive-way), practicing the ancestral technique of Canadian
Yoga known in None-sens-scipt as IHAVETOSHOVELLALLTHAT
FUCKINGSNA, when doing some
breathing exercises ( catching my
breath) I reached the point of self -awareness called ''
THATFUCKINGSNAWILLKILLYA''. My anthropologically trained mind wanders in some
comparative cultural observations; more precisely on the concept
of '' Snow Blowing ''. In
Canada, Snow Blowing is a winter sport of Olympic proportions; which mostly consist of taking the snow out
of your
drive-way and throwing it on your neighbor's property. For that, you
need first to be dressed in a astronaut type outfit. Then the rich guys used a snow blower (you need to be rich to assume the
maintenance of those always breaking devises ) . And so, you go out practice the art! Somewhere
else ... let say Vegas, Snow blowing
is another totally different game; this one of
endemic proportions. First, it's an all year around indoor game practiced
mainly in hotel rooms and disco wash rooms. Practicing the art you be soon on
the Dharma from riches to absolute poverty. The tool of the art are a razor
blades, a rolled benny (Ben Franklin; $100) an a flat reflective surface to see
your face with progressing in the art . This is could be done solo but for the
more lucky, It is often a team sport practiced with some naked Silicon Valley
team mates. So here, I terminate my meditation by an
appropriate prayer call
