Captain of your own ship is great advice and a powerful image, the ocean is such a strong force of nature, to be navigated with with intelligence and agility, just like the senses, thank you for the awesome explanation and the Yoga connection
Thank you James, a year later this verse is one I seem to remember often from my study of last year. It is interesting to see what I wrote back then...I would now add how the rules are another tool, to be respected for sure, but also to be adapted, "bent", broken, re-written, even abandoned, especially if they don't cultivate harmony. And to take responsibility for the journey !
