	Perspective
	Living Your Yoga by Judith Lasater
	By paying attention to how we lose perspective about little things we can create a habit of opening our perspective to accommodate the more important things. One day, a monk was walking by the banks of a lake & found an abandoned rowboat. He spent several months lovingly restoring it. Finally, the day came to launch it on the clear waters of the lake. As he began to row, he noticed that it was getting foggy, but he continued nonetheless. Suddenly, swiftly cutting through the fog came another rowboat, which rammed into his boat. All of his work - the new wood & the paint job - was damaged. The monk got angry & strained to see who had done this thoughtless thing to his beautiful boat. And then he saw that the other boat was empty. His anger collapsed in the moment. So much of our suffering is linked to effort & to reactions that are tied to an iron-clad perspective. When the monk took a good look at what had happened, he moved from reaction to having perspective. Some of the annoying events & people in our lives are simply empty rowboats.
