As the summer winds slowly down and we resume the hectic lives of busy New Yorkers and before the slipping into our fall gear is fully realized, let me just post a couple pics from the 1st ANNUAL LOU REED TAI CHI DAY! About a half dozen of us met for a picnic, some qi gong, and then a wow of a performance choreographed by Laurie Anderson and her wondrous partner and husband -- alas, deceased -- Lou Reed. The bandshell was literally throbbing with his ambient music. It was overpowering, thrilling. and for a brief moment I thought of downloading some of it for our classes. Then I thought, no, it's too much. Then I thought why not. So we will probably try it. Anyway, here are some pics. Thank you Ting for bringing such delicious treats! Thank you Alex for demonstrating your soccer moves and keeping two energetic boys enthralled, thank you Nancy and Michael -- it was such a great evening! We will def repeat it next year! A few quotes from Lou's journal
This is a blog about t'ai chi, specifically how we can apply the teachings of this ancient practice to our contemporary lives. How do we navigate an icy sidewalk? What is the best posture for that dreaded job interview? There are the eternal problems, of course, of back pain and creaky knees. My intention is to have a place to share ideas about t'ai chi methods of caring for our spirits and bodies in today's complicated world.
