Stretching I Can

More From Doris Lessing

As a longtime practitioner of yoga and a person who's been involved in physical fitness my whole life, i can tell you, yoga helps you achieve altered states of consciousness. it is not just stretching. the only way you can say that it's stretching is if you haven't done it, or that you haven't done it rigorously for a long period of time.
Yoga Long Way
You've probably heard about the theory of steam-engine time - that even after the steam engine had been invented, it had to wait until people were ready to make use of it. the same thing happens in literary circles. the truth is, i'm not terribly interested in victorian times; i'm interested in victorian writers. i'm interested in most eras of history, but not the victorian era especially. i was interested in the john franklin expedition. i was interested in these last five weird years of dickens' life. and i just have to take the age that comes with all that when i write about it.
Writing People Waiting
Procrustes in modern dress, the nuclear scientist will prepare the bed on which mankind must lie; and if mankind doesn’t fit—well, that will be just too bad for mankind. there will have to be some stretching and a bit of amputation—the same sort of stretching and amputations as have been going on ever since applied science really got going into its stride, only this time they will be a good deal more drastic than in the past. these far from painless operations will be directed by highly centralized totalitarian governments.

I've never enjoyed my running more. i also do 200 sit-ups a day, 60 push-ups, and a lot of stretching. i've had some back issues. i think the stretching helps with that.

I don't know if i call myself a poet or not. i would like to, but i'm not really qualified to make that decision, because i come in on such a back door, that i don't know what a robert frost or a [john] keats or a t.s. eliot would really think of my stuff.
Thinking Doors Decision
But when a man suspects any wrong it sometimes happens that if he be already involved in the matter he insensibly strives to cover up his suspicions even from himself. and much this way it was with me. i said nothing and tried to think nothing.
Men Thinking Cover Ups
In a weird way, it’s kind of a relief to think, ‘oh, i know i’m not that young sort of pretty thing anymore.’ it’s quite nice talking about what it was like to be the young pretty thing, rather than being it.
