empty my cup
Well, my nagging hip injury finally got the better of me, and I decided (in consultation with Larry, sifu and friend) that I might need to chill on kung fu for awhile and try alternatives. So tonight I started back at ground zero in a beginning tai chi class. I suppose it isn't really ground zero as we're all a product of the experiences that brought us to this point in time, but in some ways it also is also more frustrating. As I began my journey learning the Yang 8 movement form I found my hands going to spots and motions ingrained through the last 2 years of kung fu. But that is part of the lesson...learning to "empty my cup" so I can have more tea.
