This morning, while practicing Tai-Ki by the lake while The Missus swam in it, I had some visitors:
Three cranes on the grass
A family of cranes, the two adults on the left and right, and the young’n here on the right. They walked back and forth carefully feeding, and they did get closer than this picture while I was practicing. A couple of times, something I did, or a noise or movement nearby, caused them to put up a cry: the male a loud single-beat cry, and the female joined in with a two-beat cry in a different tone. I had never heard that, nor seen them do this together.
It was a sunny, hot, lovely day here in south-east Michigan, and I got to practice in the open air it seems like the first time in a good long while!
Four of the Five Tuesdays in May, at usual class time, 6-7pm, I’m offering open house for Tai-Ki:
May 3rd, May 10th, May 24th, May 31st
This is a chance for one and all to drop in any of those nights to hear about Tai-Ki and try some of the basic movements!
The practice of Tai-Ki has done a great deal for me personally (I’ve written about this all here), I think it can do a great deal for you as well. The movements, exercises, and forms are suitable for folks of all ages.
Do come by to see and hear more in May!
(May 17th succumbed to day-job travel).
A friend forwards me a like to this posting:
The Music/Martial Arts Connection at Fretterverse.
I used to play classical piano for many years, and I do see similar challenges in both that practice, and in what I do in Tai-Ki and other arts now:
I was interviewed for the latest Crazy Wisdom Journal: What’s New in the Community, By Jennifer Eberbach.
It has been a good year, a year in which I started teaching, and continued learning Tai-Ki. To all my teachers, colleagues, and students, many thanks! I am excited about more teaching and learning in 2011.
Here’s hoping all is well with you and yours!
