I found this lovely bit of writing (Authour - Victoria Erickson) shared on a Taiji Facebook Page that I was connected with. On first impressions I swear that I was reading some classical Lao Tzu or some masterly Taiji wisdom, but with some additional research found that it was written by a contemporary and very talented authour who by all indications has no connection with Taiji whatsoever. Yet she has arrived at the same Daoist heart & principles through the mastery of her chosen art - the art of words. Her poem not only embodies how we can approach life & Taiji practice but also how we approach push hands. Words to live by.
