I just finished How Yoga Works, a novel incorporating the yoga sutra, explaining the philosophy behind yoga (note that it is written by Buddhists in a Tibetan tradition, so it certainly has its own slant). I adored it. It was nicely written, really explaining the purpose and function of yoga. The real message in the book, at least the message that I found, was that kindness is the most important thing, being kind to yourself and kind to others. That’s a message that I can support.
I recently put some cds into my car (I really haven’t been listening to that much music, but it makes me happy, so I am trying to rectify that). They are:
The Otis Redding Anthology
The Grateful Dead-American Beauty
Tori Amos-Little Earthquakes
Bob Marley and the Wailers-Uprising
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Fever to Tell
And on the job front, the position has been filled. And not by me. Boo.
round and round

Off topic, but I have a spinning question for ya. I purchased some Angora to spin – I think 6 oz. Anyway – depending on who I ask, some say, card it in w/another roving and then spin, others say spin it along and ply it with something else. What do you think? Also, If I spin it alone – do I have to ply it? I am making the Debbie Bliss “loop stitch boa scarf” and I thought how cool would it be to use angora in alternate rows!! Any and all comments are appreciated. (although I guess more appropriately on my blog – not yours??
