SPRING INTO SUMMER!

Joseph Addison was born lst May 1672 - so a few wise sayings from him to help you through the month.  This one seems as true today as when Addison wrote it:-

          "A man must be excessively stupid as well as uncharitable who believes that there is no virtue
            but on his own side, and that there are not men as honest as himself who may differ from him
            in political principles"

Perhaps I'll keep that in mind and not feel so guilty when next I don't manage to get to the Polls!

     However, he didn't always feel that to sit back and let others get on with it was the best way.  I'll finish my blog with another aphorism from Joseph Addison:-

          "When an angel by divine command
           With rising tempests shakes a guilty land,
           Such as of late o'er pale Britannia past,
           Calm and serene he drives the furious blast
           And, pleas'd th'Almighty's orders to perform
           Rides in the whirlwind, and directs the storm."

My fellow Yogis, just in case you think I am off my head, I'll finish with a last short quote from Joseph Addison, our May Man!

          "Nature does nothing without purpose or uselessly"

So - go gathering nuts in May ..... or whatever makes you feel good!

And try to keep a balanced view of things - that really is the Yoga way!
