Tides of Essence

The sea moves rhythmically;
its ebb and flow,
its come and go,
are natural
and complete.

Joy through movement
mimics the tides,
calms the essence,
unites man
with nature.

Ancient transcends modern;
T’ai Chi Chih is
effortless effort,
actionless action,
universal, personal.

Microcosm joins macrocosm;
Yin chi unites with yang chi,
stirring and separating,
meeting again
in harmony.
