It was a very dull afternoon and the gloom seemed to permeate my practice. As I performed the postures even old friends seemed like total strangers. Some days that's just how it is. At such times it is hard to stay attentive, to just be with how things are, without judgement, without wanting it to be different. It's all too easy to feel cross, frustrated, sorry and despair. How much easier it is when everything is sunny.
It would be good to report that as I got into my practice it dispelled the clouds but I can't. Instead I was given the opportunity of practising being present, of observing what was happening, the thoughts that arose and my reaction to them. More practice required!
