Successful Completion

During the last class of the basic TCC course, I present each student with a certificate of completion. Each person shares what the TCC class experience was like for him/her, including poems that they’ve written. I’d be glad to sent a copy of the certificate of completion to any teacher who wants one. It reads “..for successful completion of the basic course in T’ai Chi Chih.” Just send a business size SASE to me. Love, Barbara Lefforge

Rooted, grounded, balanced
cycles and circles
circles and ovals
ovals and ellipses

Neverending, always flowing
flowing ribbons
ribbons flowing
rooted flowing

Resting in harmony
harmony and peace
peace and stillness
stillness

Circles in circles the energy
flows without thought. To be,
to accept the moment as you
move. To feel the sun and shadow,
to feel the air, the warmth and
coolness, the sound of civilization
all around. To feel and see and hear,
yet stay centered in the flow
of the energy. Male and female
the energy flows in time and the
now.
