Window to Intimacy

A Teacher Shares

Patrick Lenard, Isla Vista, CA writes: T’ai Chi Chih has sparked and rekindled old interests and creativity long laying dormant within my soul. In this spirit I am sending poetry that directly relates to this growth and shared experience in the TAO and TCC.*

The window to the world, The hard feel of glass
I Look thru a window
Of poetry passed

Those inside seem to dance
Couples in group
Alive in a sea of bobbing pulsing motion

I take a seat
In my minds eye
Beyond the flow of thought
Secure on my perch
Regarding the scene

I look out at the deep blue
The steps of my own flow are like a wave
As I twist and turn
I can see that there is someone
Who belongs with me
There is the other
In the distance

So my mind travels
To rest on the leeward side
Of your island
Your calm and sheltering side

*This poem is about my mind stuff while doing T’ai Chi on the ocean side cliffs.
