So-Hi,
I enjoyed your long free form post. Seems honest and real. I have an immediate family who isn’t into yoga, but they all went with me on a yoga retreat and had a good time with all the other yoga practitioners. My extended family isn’t into yoga either, but I could tell them every weird experience I’ve had, and I’d still be the sane one. 
It’s not my job to convince other people to do stuff. No one listens to me, just like I don’t listen to other people.
Yes, I look at things, too. Life just seems easier now when I don’t look at things. It just flows, and I’m happier.
Yes 
see keeping it short. Threw a long one earlier today

Hi So-Hi,
About your elongated reply , some new insights bubbled up here about why it is more complicated with the family relations here.
That is what I would like you to know. You shared this, I read it, it gave me insight, and the insights are not in the words you wrote. But they influenced me. This way all is happening here on the forum, we are not the doers, we are sharing and learning at the same time.
We have to listen to the silence between the words, and even in the written language this is happening.
That is the reason why I love poetry…

Hi Lalow, thank you it was.
I do not think you could ever be convinced of anything until you experience it, and that is just the way it should be.
