Not an Unreasonable Request

We may not be able to change much of what we get in life–where and when we were born, certain innate talents and physical attributes, but we have the choice at every moment what we will create with what we have been given.

Will we create beauty and happiness where we can?  The point of the yoga practices, I think and have been taught, is to lead us to choose what best serves more and more often.

For example, I cannot create a monumental sculpture if the only art material I have is a point and shoot camera.  I could do nothing but lament my lack of resources, or I can still make art.

What do you choose with what you have?
