Not really sure why people collect boxes. There is something about them. Will do some research and get back later. If you like auctions, and you like boxes, I saw these on EBTH. Some unique stuff and some bargains, depending on how quirky your taste. www.ebth.com
cardboard bicycle by Israeli, Izhar Gafni (from good.is.com)
Found on the GOOD feed today. I have always been interested in bicycle and bike culture, and this cardboard bike just blew me away. Like the “one laptop per child” concept, this bike could conceivably be made easily available to children in developing countries who have to walk miles to school, or maybe don’t go because it’s too far. Cardboard . . . like $9.00 in materials, and able to hold 400 lbs.

For what is perfection, especially when you are practicing yoga? I have never heard a yoga teacher talk of perfection, only practice, process and doing what feels right in that moment. There is always someplace further to go, and just because you could get there yesterday or last week, does not guarantee you will be there today. It's very humbling, and rewarding at the same time. Your balance improves a bit, your twist goes an inch further. My yoga practice has resumed after a long hiatus, and imperfect it is.
When I find a singular stone (not that coral is really a stone) that is one-of-a kind; shape, size, color. markings, etc., I usually prefer to let it take center stage by itself, so one can notice its unique characteristics and beauty. The simplicity of a minimal design and secondary materials allows that focus.
