A poem inspired by a Tai Chi training course with Simon Watson of Longfei Taijiquan Association at Weymouth on Saturday / Sunday 10th / 11th October 2020.

Taijiquan is Wonderful 

I inhale chi each morning.

Drinking chai tea refreshment.

Before Tai Chi replenishment.

Never using an excuse to stop practising.

Easy to forget.

Even harder to remember what you have forgotten.

Flowing like water.

Keeping stiffness at bay.

Riding along the Bay.

On my motorcycle mindfully.

Meditating on movement.

With a koan for a poem.

Where the mind goes the chi follows.

Breathing deep & smooth not husky.

Enjoying walking my Husky.

Being grateful not hateful.

Taking each day one at a time.

Living in the present moment.

Concentrating on each breath as an anchor.

As one thought not a thousand.

Avoiding fretful thoughts in troubled times.

Drawing in energy.

In harmony with nature.

Being one with the many.

Existing with all & everything.
