Upanishads

 Yeah. That's what I'm reading today. Eknath Easwaran has done something with their translation. Definitely aimed at yer regular neophyte of the 21st century. Still, their turns of speech make sense. I'm enjoying it. I don't think I've read the original take, mind you. The Bhagavad Gita is in this tradition but it comes later.

 At the beginning, when the hero confronts Yama, I fear I got a DragonBall Z vibe. Goku and Lord Yemma stuff. Anyway, it rained a fair bit the past couple of days and was snowing today. Ugh. But the warmer days are coming back. They ought to - considering we're on the other side of April.

 Not much else to say. I hope the few that still follow me are doing well. That's all.


BYE.

Reading between...

 Now I can truly read between the lines! Went to see the optometrist this weekend. Had an issue with my left eye. Tired, dry eyes. My oculars weren't gu
shing properly. So now I have eye drops and apply a warm compress every day.

  However, a reader needs help once in a while.

  Mine eyes are super powerful now! Oh, and the solar eclipse was properly anti-climactic here. Thick clouds strike again.

  That's all for now.
