Community, Part 2

Thank you, Justin, for your wonderful and powerful gift of T’ai Chi Chih. Much gratitude. This quotation from Guru Nanak expresses my deep feelings the best:

Death is nothing but a gateway to birth.
Nothing that lives ever dies, it only changes form.
When a person’s body is weary the soul leaves
the body to receive newer and fresher garments.
And so on goes this great play of God –
from eternity to eternity.

At my teacher training in December of 1990, Justin remarked that I would be a good teacher “once I settled down.” This teaching, among so many others, has been a guiding force for now nearly half of my life. How can it be that you are not there Justin? You of all people seemed omnipresent. But you are there. You are there. I send my deep love out.

Justin, the man will be missed. T’ai Chi Chih will continue to change the lives of all who practice it regularly. I can’t imagine a day without a practice. To be able to align oneself with the harmony of the universe is a gift beyond gratitude. My heart expands to meet you.

For me, it all began in Minnesota where, Jeannie, my T’ai Chi Chih teacher, encouraged me to become a teacher. So, I went to Albuquerque. My teacher – Justin Stone. From that time (April, 1988) we have kept in a caring contact. There were many groups of T’ai Chi Chih those years: in Wholistic Growth Resources in Little Falls, Minnesota, to Harare, Zimbabzwe, where the TCC movements have helped those stressed out because of the fearful situations existing there. Justin had also been a source of impressive wisdom for me those eleven years. Now in the States because of a heart condition, I had contemplated a visit to be with Justin … we must put off this meeting to see each other until some future date, which only God knows … Thank you, Justin, for so much. I/we shall miss you.

I will always be grateful to you, Justin, for the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you. Thank you. You had a profound job to do in this life, and by golly, you did it. So here’s to your next great adventure. My love and Blessings go with you.

I haven’t written because I didn’t know what to say or how to honor Justin through words. I met Justin only once, at my teacher training. I have known him mainly through the practice of T’ai Chi Chih. My experience of TCC is gentleness and deep connection to the source of life. TCC is a gift; it is healing; it is discovery through practice. So through this experience, I know Justin as generous, compassionate and humble. What an awesome legacy he has left us. Thank you, Justin, for this gift of TCC. Rest in Peace.
