A Magical Practice
By: Terry Gay Puckett
San Antonio, Texas
Saturday Morning, December 30, 2006 – Renza Baker and i met at the usual TCC practice spot, by the creek near the headwaters of the San Antonio River, on the campus of the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. A bleak, damp morning of 52 degrees held a specail surprise in store for us. Renza pointed toward the river, which had water in it for the first time in six months! Hopefully, our drought was over.
Filled with gratitude, we began our practice. A few birds flew across the creek, and trees fluttered in the soft winter breeze. A Carillon began to chime out joyful Christmas carols. The specail concert lasted throughout our TCC practice, and ended when we concluded with the Cosmic Consciousness Pose. It was a spiritual moment for the both of us, and we were touched by the magic of the morning. What a unique and hopeful way to begin the New Year!
Drought
Fizzles,
Creek trickles,
Chi and hope renew.
Bells of joy!
New Year’s
Here.
