Balancing with the ocean

I recently returned from a cruise ship vacation with my husband. This was our Christmas present to each other. I love to experience my T’ai Chi Chih practice in different places so I was excited to do my practice on our balcony off our suite. The sea was particularly rough and I wasn’t sure if I could keep my balance. I sank into the soles of my feet and began. I soon became one with the ocean. About half way through the practice, I noticed five seagulls in a row moving in the ocean right in front of me. Also there was one seagull just below me on the railing—all seemed very interested and a part of the movements. What a joy to all be a part of this energy…ocean, birds and me.
