As I continue in my journey in life, some things just make you feel better body and soul. I have found that recently with the exercise of Tai Chi.
Here is my expression of Tai Chi in words...
Tai Chi is…..

An exercise melding mind and body,
Movements, graceful, dance of motion.
Flowing softly in meditation,
an exploration of energy positive.

The invigorating feeling of relaxation,
achieved in core center, my chi.
Giving in to personal enlightenment,
as the easy rhythm brings happiness.

My reflection brings forth courage,
somewhat religious in nature.
Exhilarating life flow,
images of my strength.

As I glide within the calm,
my thoughts are heartfelt and gentle.
As this exercise gives counsel and joy,
It is new life, and my relief.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
