		<description><![CDATA[I've seen much forcing in postures, the 'ideal' of a posture pushed like a cookie-cutter onto an unready body.

		<description><![CDATA[Mother Teresa's charities in Calcutta are as real as it gets.  Words could never do justice to what I witnessed there.  She was so simple, yet so effective... and her legacy of compassion lives on.  The least we can do is try to follow her advice given here.  We'll forget, we can remember.

We don't have to do everything.  Flowing into postures can helps us get to where things seem to fit.]]></description>
