Grateful, Then & Now

I can’t believe I have been certified since 1992; what a difference T’ai Chi Chih has made. When I returned to New York, I taught many classes for a few years in nearby retreat houses and there was great enthusiasm. After a bout with cancer, I didn’t go back to teaching big classes again, but I seldom neglected a daily personal practice. I still work with a small group here at the convent and they find it very good for slow movement and balance.

Sr. Francis Kay and I always include TCC classes as an important part of the twice-yearly retreats for extended family. It’s very encouraging that a few members have made daily practice part of their routine. When I do TCC in my bedroom each morning I am lucky that my window faces east. Even in Winter I am greeted with a beautiful slow dawn, while in Spring and Summer I have the rising sun and the bird song which make TCC deeper and more centered.
