Glenda let me know how you like it. I do yoga at my senior center and it was not hard but tricky to get into the poses~~a few where like WOW I can not believe I can do this. One involved a strap laying on the floor with our legs all strapped up in a knee bend then stretching the legs out 'ouch'! I was wanting to get out of the pose but DANG all of the older people were doing it so I had to suck it up. In the end I loved it and felt great~~that is why I think I felt so good after surgery, laying in bed for 24 hours all hooked up to whatever they hook you too so you can not move. I just jumped outta bed and ran to the bathroom when they finally unhooked me not wobbly at all YOGA ROCKS!

Its interesting to read and you are right it can relate to our daily actions in life. I also learn something from that poem. I will save this and share to my friends also who also doing Tai Chi.

eld6161: Yes, you have guessed the rationale behind my code name. My initials are jem. With a little mashup, I coined this name to tie into my hobby. About the practice stone above, if a jeweler were to examine it, he would say, its a nice cut with accurate meet-points, but its a 'leaker' referring to its light return. It has nice appearance, but should be brighter. By leaker, he'd be saying that it looses too much light out the pavilion. (The pavilion is the bottom part of the stone below the griddle; The part above the griddle is the crown.) The function of the pavilion is to reflect light, that has passed through the crown, back toward the viewer. After I cut this stone, I have learned more about gem cuts and now own a computer ray tracing program that I use to evaluate my designs. That has been a great help and has allowed me to uncover a lot of unfounded accolades that has been said about a number of designs.
