For Justin (November 1991)

Dearest Justinsan,

Like the thousands of leaves on the tree there are many who have studied Zen, Oriental Philosophy, T’ai Chi and so on, but of those thousands there is only one Justinsan. You have chosen, not only to learn the secret of your inner being, but to open your heart to life so that we too can have that same opportunity. What a beautiful way you have chosen, Thank You!!

Each of us from time to time, wonders if our life is making a difference in the world. Because you are teaching us of the preciousness of ourselves, not only through word, but through your every action, I am coming to believe that we can’t help but do just that–make a difference. The difference that you make touches not only the lives of the T’ai Chi Chih teachers but of each person you meet.

When you tell us that the student is supposed to surpass the Master, I realize what a beginner I am.

With much love I cherish the 75 years that you have spent with us and Thank You for making time to be here.

Happy Birthday
Love Always,
