Of yoga and worldbuilding

Well, Saturday night’s first dip into the material was unexpected. I took about half an hour to read the preface and chapters one and two of Vedanta Philosophy: Lectures by the Swami Vivekananda on Raja Yoga and Other Subjects. Then I set the timer for another half hour to take notes.

I made it about a third of the way through the first paragraph. This is good. This is what I was hoping for.

Book Detective: Down the Raja Yoga Rabbit Hole

Trying to find the “best” edition of Swami Vivekananda’s Raja Yoga has turned into quite the puzzle. Fortunately, I’ve settled on an edition, which is nice, but getting there? That was something special.

Now Playing: The Dragon Prince, Spirit MOC, Yoga, and Tones on Tail

TGIwasF!

Once I got settled in for the evening last night when I started this, it was time for The Dragon Prince. This is what, the third time I’ve watched the series? I like it more each time I watch it because I can appreciate more of it that I missed before. The story is well crafted. The characters have depth and meaningful character arcs. The animation is lovely. And now that I’m attempting to watch it with a more critical eye, looking for lessons in how excellence is achieved, I’m actually a bit awed. I’m not exactly prone to fandom, so I’m a little late to the news that there will be two more seasons [spoilers behind the link]. After this, I’m not sure. Maybe back to Supernatural again. That’ll make six times through that series.

Alas, I can choose to follow my natural inclinations and just watch The Dragon Prince all night, or I can make a little progress on my Yoga Map of Contents in Obsidian. It was neck and neck there for a bit because I’m seriously enjoying season 3, but yoga won out. Of course, this means I’m going to need some music in the background.

Thank goodness I thought ahead of time and created my own Best of Tones on Tail playlist on Spotify. Mind you, with a band like them, such a short catalog, and so many excellent songs, it’s damned near a Compleat instead of a Best of, but there’s some omissions. What remains is nearly everything, just with no repeats. It’s exactly the list of Tones on Tail I want to hear when that’s what the mood calls for.

Now on to yoga.
