It was such a delectable day! I think taking a day off on Monday is a gorgeous idea. I had read somewhere that Monday is the day of the moon, of goddess, of the Feminine...this is ideally the day to take it easy and luxuriate in 'fursat'. The fact that we work on Mondays and make it the starting point of all hassling crazy weeks is why we are harangued. When you take a Monday off, you really see the sense in that.
Finished 'The Invisibility Cloak' by Ge Fei. On a whim, went to Subko on Chapel Road with my novella and left my phone at home. It was such a good idea! That uninterrupted reading time that felt so nourishing and the deep conversations I had with someone else sitting at the community table...it was excellent. He told me about James Baldwin's debate in Oxford or Cambridge with a White supremacist and an anecdote of Salinger and his editor regarding Catcher in the Rye. It felt so nice! And then I stepped off into a drizzly Bandra and a buzzing Hill Road.
Did some shopping at Miniso, got bathmats and the like and returned home to more novels delivered by Amazon.
Tomorrow work begins. Likely never-ending work begins. But that makes this possible. We will tackle it. Until then, a good day with a glad heart!
