Marks and Movement: The Minnesota Journal

The story begins at the T’ai Chi Chih conference in early August, “Encircled in Chi.”

I traveled from home, by plane, to the Land of 10.000 Lakes and Lots and Lots of Trees.

First day of conference, the chi began to flow and weave together in new patterns.

Hexagons – the geometry of my weaving now in the church windows. Synchronicity.

At the Seijaku class, my answer to this question was “Marks and Movement.”

After 6 days, I left the Land of 10.000 Lakes and Lots and Lots of Trees and returned home to citrus, bright flowers and the ocean.

A different understanding of chi came home with me.

When the individual changes, the web also changes

Things move apart, seemingly, as they rearrange themselves

New patterns lead to new maps

Is it the edge, or is it the path? Where is the center?

It all starts to weave together. HOME

Journal complete. Next one waiting in the wings.
