Life Lessons

I won't be able to attend tomorrow's class due to work so teacher decided to bring his planned backbend lesson to today's. Every now and again something clicks during a lesson, a moment of epiphany one might say. This may be yoga related or about just any other thing. Today's moment was probably all encompassing:

Things come to us in their time, as and when we are ready to have them. But we also have to reach for it.

All this in the course of working towards the wheel pose. On a separate note: the one with the bolster is pretty tough and frightening, much faith is required in the equipment. There was much chattering as the class was trying it out, but I'm sure I out noised them all with my howling and bellowing. It hurt!
