Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Mirror, mirror on the wall, is my TCC the best of all?

Are my feet in just the right stance? Or is my movement more like a dance?

You say my weight shift is incomplete? And ask, is my attention still in my feet?

Is my form so soft and flowing, or is my ego really showing?

Mirror, mirror, standing there, please be kind, but be sincere.

Help me see what I can’t see. Light up the unknowing part of me.

Do I move just like a clown? Or do I have my heels down?

Is my posture out of line? Now is not the time to whine.

Do I move with style and grace? Are both my hands in just the right place?

With wrists relaxed and waist open, my form should be good, at least, I’m hopin’.

Am I flowing from the tan t’ien? Am I making the same mistakes all over again?

Mirror, mirror, please, take over. Perhaps I need an extreme makeover.

Sink down here, straighten there, I’ll continue to compare, compare.

I’m working so hard. I want improvement, so I can enjoy my Joy Thru Movement.

Spiral down to the left, flow to the right. I’m working hard ‘til I get it right.

Let tension melt, let ego go. Ah, now I’m beginning to feel the flow.

Mirror, mirror, tell me please, am I soft enough in the knees?

Hold fast here, let go there. Now I’m beginning to move with flare.
