July 7th 2009 was the 20th Anniversary of Seven Star T'ai Chi School (the original name for my school).  The        D.B.A. was created and classes commenced.  Twenty years have flown by.  Knowledge has been aquired, ego has       dropped away, humble spiritual growth has taken its place.  So many changes in my life.  What I learned, I have yet   to learn.  Special people crossing my path...students, teachers, assistance, friends-my Love is deep for all.  Thank      you, each and everyone of you, for making it possible.

Holidays
Happy First Day of Winter.  The holidays are upon us and it's time to reflect again over the past year.  I am so thankful for each and everyone of my students.  The school is about so much more than learning T'ai Chi, it's about learning how to live.  I watched the students ready themselves for class this week.  They took their time, sat down to take off their shoes and relax a minute, some chatted with others as they ate a brownie, others just slowly walked around the room or practiced some T'ai Chi moves.  In every case, time slowed down.  There was no hurry to go or be anywhere but where they were.  I realized that those who continued coming to class are those who 'got it'....slow down, enjoy life, take time back, meander.  It's not about learning new moves, it's about slowing down, enjoying each other.  What a wonderful gift...Love and Time.  Happy Holidays to All!

Tao Te Ching

Seventy-Six

A man is born gentle and weak.

At his death he is hard and stiff.

Green plants are tender and filled with sap.

At their death they are withered and dry.

 

Therefore the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death.

The gentle and yielding is the disciple of life.

 

Thus and army without flexibility never wins a battle.

A tree that is unbending is easily broken.

 

The hard and strong will fall.

The soft and weak will overcome.

(consider the waters hitting the rocks).

I come

to meet you, God,

and as I linger here

I seem to feel You

very near. 

A rustling leaf,

a rolling slope

Speak to my heart

of endless hope.

"T'ai Chi is...Rooted in the foot, released through the leg, controlled by the waist, and expressed through the hands."

 

T'ai Chi is the teacher, we are all the Students.

                                                          -Master Jou Tsung Hua

 

"T'ai Chi is the art of softness containing hardness, of a needle concealed in cotton."

                                                                                                                                         -Yang Cheng Fu 


 Mountain-Not Mountain-Mountain

 

Stand like a Mountain and Move like a River.

 

Song, Song and More Song.

 

Invest in Loss.
