Oh man! I think I'm hilarious, I doubt anyone gets it but I think it's hilarious. Let me clue you in. In the cult classic, Rocky Horror Picture Show the two main characters, Brad and Janet sing a beautiful song about hope and well a light. This song actually comes to my mind rather often. I was in a production of Rocky Horror once and this song was actually my favorite, I thought it was beautiful. So, when I feel surrounded by darkness and I'm looking for the light this song plays in my head over and over again. Here are the lyrics if you are curious:
"In the velvet darkness,
of the blackest night,
burning bright,
there's a guiding star,
no matter what or who you are.
chorus:
there's a light (over at the frankenstein place)
there's a light (burning in the fireplace)
theres a light, light, in the darkness of everybody's life.
The darkness must go
down the river
of night's dreaming
Flow morphia slow,
let the sun and light come streaming,
into my life
into my life
Theres a light...
chorus:Over at the frankenstien place
Theres a light
burning in the fireplace
theres a light...a light
in the darkness of everybodys life
I can see the flag fly
I can see the rain
Just the same there has got to be,
something better here for you and me. "
However, that is not the true point of this post. This blog is reeeally about a great find I had at St. Vincent DePaul's a month ago. It was in the wrong spot and if it hadn't been for my uncanny eye for detail I may have passed it over. Ladies and gents I found B.K.S. Iyengar's "Light on Yoga" for $1.99 at a thrift store. Amazing. This book is a great guide for any yoga practice. He sums up what you need to know about the practice of yoga, provides extensive detail on asana (physical postures), and includes information on bandhas and pranayama. This is a great guide and resource for those who are knew to yoga or are looking to strengthen their personal practice. There are probably zillions of copies out there so it really isn't a rare book but it's not a book that most people would give away.
So you get the joke now right? Light on Yoga...Frankenstein's place Iyengar's....hilarious!
