Faith starts with trusting the process of change. On a simple and natural level it starts by letting go of the tension that freezes me into an ego – a oneness – so that I become the play between my two fluid halves – left and right – full and empty. Then movement, and hence change, is natural and inevitable – unavoidable. This is taiji, or at least solo taiji, which is always only ever a preparation and model for playing with another.
