Dear Folks, Well you know me, out of a clear blue sky I'll remember something that I hadn't thought of in years. In this case it was the Yoga Lotus Position that my mother taught me way back when (probably in the 1940s). Of course it had nothing to do with Yoga (we had never heard of that), it was more or less a cross legged position that was a bit tricky to do. Basically, you sit down on the floor and cross your right leg over the thigh of your left one and then cross your left leg over your right thigh. Mother had first demonstrated it for me and then I did the same thing. Now in our case we didn't know that from there on in we should meditate. Over the years I enjoyed showing off the "trick" and it even got to the point to where I added something else to the position. I found that if I could rock myself up on my knees in that position, I could knee walk across the floor. Note, it wasn't that I was so athletic, I have an idea that the length of my legs or something made it rather easy to do. In fact when I was in junior high school (7th, 8th and 9th grades), the gym teacher wanted us to bend over and touch our toes. Ain't no way that I could do that. However, I marveled at one particular girl with much shorter legs than I who could bend over and not only touch her toes but actually put the palms of her hands down flat on the floor. I guess what reminded me of the Lotus Position is because even though at my age and with my physical condition, every time I sit down in my easy chair to read my book, I feel very comfortable when I tuck my left leg underneath my right thigh. And who knows but if I would really try the Lotus Position in my chair, I just might be able to do it. However, I think someone should be here to help me untangle myself! vee
