Since January 2007 I have had the privilege to learn about Tai Chi with Ben Booth. This practice brings strength and vitality to me every day, structure and routine, balance – outside and in. It pushes me physically. It’s hard to do and it never ceases to reveal another layer of exploration. I like that. Ben’s teachings spark my imagination. Often I go off on my own tangents
or
BOING!
like a fiddle head fern,
I unfurl
to something Ben says.
Ah ha!
I get it now.

Tai Chi stills me and I become aware. It trains my breathing and comforts my spirit. It brings me joy and community.
