Book Cover & Preview Text
Just as I was beginning to do my Sun Salutations, I heard a noise on the floor that distracted me. I turned and there at the edge of my mat I saw a cricket. It was an ordinary house cricket, but i don't like crickets, not even ordinary ones! I don't know why, I just don't like them. They are only tiny little creatures and they don't have a stinger or poison. They are not known to be harmful to humans, but for some reason, I am afraid of them. I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I can't do my yoga with him standing so close, so i ask him kindly to please go away.
