You earthlings are really quite mad
Surely yoga is just a strange fad?
Standing still like a tree
Is alien to me
It’ s not the best fun that I’ve had
You say it helps you relax?
I think I’ve put out my back!
All this stretching and bending
Is torture never-ending
I’m sure I can feel my bones crack!
poem by Judy E Martin
Another fun creative collaboration between Judy and me. I do hope you are enjoying our ‘Silly Saturdays’ as much as we are enjoying putting them together.
Appropriate, as my back is giving me jip and, later today, I’m off the see if the Osteopath can CRACK my bones back into shape. Wish me luck!

For a humourous look at life go to Edwina’s Episodes and read Judy’s brilliant book: “Rhymes of the Times”.

Well, I’m not sure, but I think it might have been too many hours of crochet, plus sitting badly. Who knew you could hurt your back doing crochet!
I think Yoga might have prevented it. 😉
Balance in all things!

I sent it to him Daffy! Here’s his response!
“Sat Siri Akaal (Greetings) bitiya.
I like it, because people don’t understand what Yoga is. The only time you can harm yourself is if you over stretch yourself or doing some posses wrongly. This has to be done gently.
When you mention word Yoga people think of all about all those twisting & turning your body.
The correct word is Yog. Which means union i.e. union of your body, mind & soul, but with what? These has to be united with the ultimate power we call GOD.
Not only posses but meditation is big part of Yog.
It is difficult to explain here.
May God bless your friends.
🙏🙏☝👏👏❤❤❤❤❤”
