Tai Chi Around The World

"I think we had the best time and the best place in the whole world," Olive.

We did 3 sets at Swy-a-Lana Lagoon at 7:00 a.m. to mark the 40th Anniversary of the Taoist Tai Chi Society of Canada. We were joined by Tai Chiers from Taoist Tai Chi clubs all around the world, at exactly the same time.

It was an exquisitely beautiful summer morning.

Tai Chi Under The Sea

I've closed off my birthday page. But I keep thinking of stuff to ramble about.

Apophenia is seeing patterns that aren't there.

Synchronicity is a Carl Jung concept of stuff in the outside world sending you a message.

'Stars aligning' is a concept I like. Karen my job counsellor used this expression.

I felt the stars had aligned when I pushed the garage door opener to start my trip to Vancouver and Colin James singing 'Into the Mystic' came on the radio. Many good lyrics in this song including 'I'm coming home'. Sniff.
