OK…after a little while out computer reach more by choice than anything else…I AM BACK online…until my next computer sabbatical :-)

So since last post just a lot of stuff had happen…and really I will go with the quick highlights in the next few posts.

Mainly at the International Tai Chi Centre I just had a very interesting and deep experience…of course leaving in close community means that sometimes you lack perspective and you have to get along with everyone no matter what…and of course I was volunteering, so busy busy like a busy bee…Therefore inevitably some days were just a bit lower than others…but the good days just made up a million times for all the little and few bad ones. I mainly met just wonderful pure souls in the most unexpected ways. So I loved it and it made me work so much on myself that it was soooo worth it.

I really really deepened my Tai Chi in so many ways. Of course workshops and wonderful classes with great instructors and steady and regular practice helped a lot. I also finally learned Lok Up Ba Fa and did lots of chanting…and loved all of it But mainly I really think and feel that the volunteering is a big part of the opening and deepening of my Tai Chi….well we try to tame the mind (same word in Chinese for heart and mind) and do dual cultivation…so all is linked and work as a whole all together and surely made a big part of the experience for me.

On the side I also learned to play pool (sorry they call it snooker…or it is the other way around??? I am French how should I know!!); on top of being a dragon leg (more than once…you know I’m becoming a bit of a professional really :-) as the last one was a ‘running’ dragon parade with loops and bretzel!!!), I also was a shiny Lion Dance Butt…I know how to shake my bum!!!; I lawn grass and used grass killer machines, painted doors and frames, served JAI to several Chinese tour buses, put up millions of flags for a Grand Opening and so much more things that I would never have thought doing in my life!!!

Sometimes life works in very funny ways, but when you let go and just go with the flow, some great unexpected happen and just fill your soul and the little light that makes you shine.
