This Spiritual Journey
May 9, 2007
An excerpt from an essay by Ryan:
I live today to learn this truth. I am on the journey to come in touch with the vertical. I am creating my spirituality to realize my own divinity. It is a long, hard journey, so we create the idea of soul, the connection to the continuum. The space where we know everything our life force has gone through. It is in our head, in the stars, beyond this plane of existence. In my spirituality I still have yet to know this truth. It tells me I am not always connected to the vertical. But that is why I am living. To learn to love and love to live. I am present in the moment, and I cherish that.
Every Breath

An excerpt from an essay written by Ryan:
When I look at the last year of my life I can hardly believe all the experiences I’ve gone through. I see the people I’ve lived so many hours with and think about how we have interacted and created our reality. I am able to see rainy days mountainboarding into mud puddles and feeling a natural connection about it all. When the sun shown it was for us to dry and watch the land change again.
“Sitting silently, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.” (Rajneeshi, 1976)
Life is the constant state of metamorphosis and I’ve seen my life force move with it and now I watch my family grow. I try and flow with it and be the river, but sometimes I try to be the rock in the river. From the resistance and the letting go I am growing and learning my place in it. I am amazed at what I am growing into. The cycles of seasons bring new energy to my life and I spiral outward with every breath.

Any one who was at this event knows that this was ridiculously good time. I still have a massive scar on my arm to remind me, and I am sure quite a few others carry the scars of Donner summit. Heres a pic of the winners (Ryan is in the middle with the shades on)…
Live, love, learn…

Ryan Heumann was one of my best friends in the world. This site will be a memorial to my friend and a celebration of the love he left behind.
