REGENERATION!

It's one long word for lots of little ones : picking yourself up, brushing yourself down and starting all over again.  This is a good time of year to do that.  New courses starting in colleges, lots of opportunities open to you.

Before you rush into something new, perhaps you should pause and reflect on what you really want your life to be.  In "Eve's Diary", as translated 'from the original' by Mark Twain, Eve thinks she has got things wrong and Adam puts her out in the rain to be on her own.  There being nothing for her to do but make the best of it, she wanders off by herself and happens upon a beautiful moss bank where she can sit and put her feet into the water.  She catches sight of her own lovely reflection and sighs, "But it is something and something is better than loneliness".  She finds this Other self responds to her : it talks when she talks, is sad when she is sad, and comforts her with its sympathy.  But suddenly a passing cloud blots out her reflection.

Maybe, this is just a way of suggesting that this is a time of year when we should pause and take stock of which we really want ourselves to be .... what we can do to make life better.  When we have looked at ourselves and decided what we really want to achieve, or be, then we should act positively - do something to bring about the person we want to be.

If you decide that Yoga may help you, and you live within a ten-mile radius of St. Neots, then I may be able to point you in the right direction for a new start.  See CONTACT ME on the right hand side of this page.  Or give your views in a reply to this blog.  See below.

Om Shanti,
