Aunt Ida, Uncle Pingala: A tragicomicdream

[In Yogic teaching Ida represents the feminine, left side of the brain, and the moon. Pingala represents the masculine, the right side of the brain, and the sun.]

You enter a family gathering. It is a funny family gathering as there has been a tragedy. You quickly learn why.

Uncle Pingala: Would you like to see photos from India?

[Uncle Pingala comes over to you with a gigantic digital camera that looks like the optiscope in the opthamologist's office. Aunt Ida sits down missing the right side of her body almost entirely.]

Uncle Pingala: This is Aunt Ida, she's only missing a few parts of her body.

You can't help but giggle because Aunt Ida is only missing a few parts of her body. Just her right arm and right leg. That's all.
