Yoga pose

I started taking a yoga class and after many, many years away from the practice I discovered that I am still pretty flexible, or as one young girl in the class called it — bendy. What I am NOT is well-balanced. Yep, my balance is way off kilter.

It amused me when the very next day I saw this group of sandpipers on the beach all standing on only one leg. Perfect balance. How do they do that? Their legs aren't nearly as sturdy as mine, little twigs actually, and their little round bodies would appear to severely offset their centers of gravity. Humpf. Wish I had the balance of a sandpiper. I'll have to work on that.
