It would be nice if we might be able to start anew without first dealing with our past that we sometimes carry with us.
Some of the time we find that we need to pay our respects to each item in our closet before throwing it away when it no longer fits us.
At other times we may decide to just carry out our boxes of old stuff to the trash without a second glance.
Each situation is unique.
Circumstances may sometimes intervene.
A flood or storm, a war, a plague or illness might take our strongest attachments from us and not leave the choice to us…
T’ai Chi as a Prayer
Each movement in T’ai Chi may be considered as a Prayer, as a request for simplicity and economy that is made non-verbally to the components of which we are made, and that which resides within those parts.
As we move we are asking for cooperation, communication, and respect for all that lives within what we consider to be our selves.
As we might observe if we look, no effort is wasted, and what we put into our endeavors is often what we get out of them, sometimes when we least expect such results.
Blessings to All,
Daniel
