I should be on Newcastle with @annepalmershiatsu but the east coast floods prevented us from getting there and forced us into the Kafkian process of applying for a refund. We were wet, tired and dispirited. ‘Let’s go to the charity shop’ said @mr.neil.scott ‘that always cheers us up’.I found a pristine copy of Winthrop Sargeant’s word-for-word translation Bhagavad Gita which thanks to @originalwisdom__ ‘s exceptional Sanskrit classes and @jamesboagyoga ‘s stimulating philosophy sessions, I am finally beginning to understand a bit more fully.As ever, this book came to me when I most needed it, reminding me that I cannot change what happens but I can change how I feel about it. Cheered up, I went to @Kat’s wonderful yoga class this morning and I spent the morning in the loungers, sauna and steam room of the Arlington Baths, a little self-care consolation for not seeing Anne. In the photo, I show you the book, the biggest Gita translation I now own, together with the smallest one. In between, I have five more and I use them all in my study. Do yourself a favour and read this amazing book. And then let’s chat about it, which is how it comes to life.
