Be well, Leslie
Deep thoughts . . . If you find yourself putting off practicing yoga at home or even avoiding coming to class, consider this story: Three men were traveling through a desert on camels. As the sky began to grow dark, a booming voice from the clouds commanded, "Get off your camels and fill your bags with rocks!" The men were tired after a long day of travel, and didn't want to burden themselves or their camels, so they grudgingly put a few rocks in their sacks. Then they traveled on to the camp, set up their tents, and went to sleep.
In the morning, the men opened the leather sacks and discovered that, during the night, the rocks had been turned into diamonds. The men were simultaneously glad and sorry. They were glad they had put a few rocks in their sacks, but sorry they hadn't put in more. So it is with Yoga. As you go through life, traveling in darkness and deserts, when morning comes and you have to face the day, you'll be glad you did whatever practice you did, and sorry you didn't do more."
