In the same way that one will walk around a sculpture in the gallery to catch multiple points of view, so the images (opinions) we hold of taiji and its various concepts and principles need to change by approaching the work differently. In fact this is one of the functions of practice – to change one's position in relation to the work and thereby refresh and reimagine its constituents. Such repositioning is more to do with changes in my internal space brought about by life in general – for example, practising whilst sick, fatigued, upset, irritated, high, will always yield fresh insights.
