Tai Chi is the celebration & investigation of connexion.

Linearity of hardness : circularity of softness.

The health of living organisms is maintained through the free-flowing circulation of energy.

John Welwood

Just do the work, without excess and without expectation.

What was it like when our sense of smell dominated experience? Forever catching traces of what was and what will pass. Sniffing – short and sharp – through wide open airways – nostrils flaring to catch the scent – not just aroma but fleeting spirit – the joy as it flies – and riding the wind with my own spirit – homing in on sources and origins – the body tense in exactly the right way – elastic and toned – all diaphragm.

Joy is the result of a healthy, flexible, fluid and fully functioning spine.

Attentiveness & wonder

Spinal hygiene

Heart, then, is a direct presence that allows a complete attunement with reality.

John Welwood

By nature we are passionate creatures, and only by training rational.

When we talk of being disconnected we mean from one's own heart.

Take a deep breath and move on.

Madness & naivety

Invest in loss.

There are two things I hate: analysis and power.
