Practice and a holiday gift from Wittgenstein
Posted in ashtanga yoga on 12/25/2007 01:30 pm by karenLovely Christmas practice. I am grateful for The Cop, who has no holiday expectations beyond our spending time together.
Holidays bring up all kinds of emotions — many of them quite deeply loving and conscious of bonds betweens friends and family, and I am, as always, surprised (how many times can I possibly be surprised?) to find that words really don’t do justice.
So we’ll wrap up with a quote from Wittgenstein:
If I am thinking about a topic just for myself and not with a view to writing… I jump about all round it; that is the only way of thinking that comes naturally to me. Forcing my thoughts into an ordered sequence is a torment for me. Is it even worth attempting now?
