Jane Wolfe Diary Entry

Monday, 20 September 1920

 

     

     

A.M.

 

 

7:17 - 40

 

ASANA.

Started as runner, poised for start. Later changed to ready to leap across deep flowing water to end of small, narrow springboard.

7:40 - 58

DHARANA, yellow sq.

Started out as usual, noticed breath in right nostril. Decided on what I noticed last night. Breath deeper nor did I notice from which nostril, but did notice that the breath seemed to spray up the spine from just below center of shoulder to and into lower part of head. This always produces a feeling of well being.

 

 

 

P.M.

 

 

4:00

 

I feel inexpressibly bored and yet there seems rebellion. How can this be? I wished to write Mary K but would not pay her small a compliment. I sew a bit and toss that aside, go to the hill and return. These bawling children!

And I find Shummie [Ninette Shumway] feeling as I do and realize my selfishness. There is kinship here—what? I believe I knew her long ago and that is why I was surprised when seeing her on my arrival. Was it Paris or Rome? I understand her, the heart of the woman, and with understanding comes Love.

10:10 - 30

 

ASANA.

Tol’able.

10:30 - 50

 

DHARANA, yellow sq.

Mind wandering constantly.

HARPOCRATES.

Invocation.
