New Beginnings (November 2013)

I walk early this morning.

The strong southeast wind often holds me in motion.

And when it subsided I almost fall forward.

Thoughts go to T’ai Chi Chih and that heavy air analogy we repeat to students.

“Resistance followed by complete softness.”

“Holding on instead of letting go.”

After completing 2 miles I cross to the other side and begin home.

That breeze supports me, encourages me, almost blowing my arms into rocking motion.

I love new things, including new beginnings.

Don’t wait for New Year’s or next birthday.

New beginnings start with a new attitude, the start of the week, the first day of a month, or like today a new season. Fall into whatever you’ve been resisting.
