Beautiful meditation on one of the most obvious passages of time, Falki. I too have many photos of myself doing Yoga--younger, fitter, more flexible, and with far fewer aches. Yet in these pictures, I can see I'm striving. The very fact that I have several photo sessions of me doing Yoga--which were meant to promote my books--means I wasn't really doing Yoga; I was over there, not in the present moment.

Though I really do miss that fewer-aches body, I'm happier where I am now: here, doing what I'm doing. Thanks for the reminder that the packaging may change, but the person inside is stronger than ever.

Suzan, me too -- so much happier where I am now. And yes...I was often so busy trying to get the perfect shot -- I wasn't actually doing yoga in the pictures of myself doing yoga. Thanks for taking the time to read this one, my Friend.
