“Without results, my process lacks meaning and purpose. Without process, my results are unreachable. To hold one or the other is inherently limiting. To hold both is powerful.”
― Weems Westfeldt, Brilliant Skiing Every Day

“Furthermore, I can go beyond the feet. What does my body feel like in general? What is the rhythm of my skiing today? Am I allowing myself to flow, or am I holding position? What is the snow texture like? What does the wind feel like in my face? What energy do I get from the other skiers? (Is there a sense of being crowded? Beaten down by weather? Delight?) These are not questions for answering with thought.”

“Holding polarity is the art of maintaining dynamic tension between opposing, interdependent imperatives in order to achieve the purpose each pole shares with the other.”
― Weems Westfeldt, Brilliant Skiing Every Day

“Breathe “into” your center while you ski. Park your mind there. Move with it and from it. This is how dynamic balance is achieved, and how you can find awareness of the present moment. This is also how to acquire effortless, fearless commitment.”
