The Wing

Today’s #metconyantra / #crossfitaltar is six barbells nested with kettle bells and @roguefitness plates at the base and the apex. The vertical lines reminded me of the bones of birds wing. That realization made the pvc wing come into being by echoing the first. The word “petition” comes from the Greek word “pteron” which means feather or wing. “Pteron” comes from the Sanskrit word “patram” which means “purifier, often by water”. The act of asking or petitioning is an elemental surrender. There is the wing that takes us there and the wing that humbles us. And so it is with our workouts. We ask a lot of them…and they take us up and they also burden us. And in so doing, in the act of sincerely petitioning they purify us.
