| The vast yoga tree
A tree is often used as an analogy for explaining the structure of yoga. I like to think of yoga as a large banyon tree. There is nothing common about this common tree of India with its exposed gnarled roots, its trunk so thick that five people holding hands will just about span it, and its snake-like branches that reach down low enough to invite climbers to reach awe-inspiring heights. And, come to think of it, yoga is like that, too. It reaches you exactly where you are, and takes you to your heights, supporting you with its trunk---a solid foundation.

WHY DOGS LIVES ARE SO MUCH SHORTER THAN HUMANS:
People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice.
Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long
