What Kind of Chair Are You?

One of my yoga students yesterday, in describing how she related to her own mother, gave me an interesting perspective on how we relate to people in every day life.  She said her mother was a very difficult woman.  Very difficult to talk with , to deal with.  And one day a friend said to her, “If your mother were a chair, what kind of chair would she be?”  Hmmmm….good question.  “A rocking chair”, to which the friend replied, “Then understand that you can’t sit down to relax and expect to be still.”
