New Year's Eve very bright, cold and sunny. My teacher is here doing one-to-one lessons almost everyday with my students, David and myself. All the guests are out and I have a very rare quiet moment to read online, write and pause, before the leap into company later. Soon I will take him tea.
Students arrive in a certain frame of mind and sit at the table as we drink tea, the conversation full of news and information exchange. After they return from the T'ai Chi room, a few hours later, their energy is always utterly transformed. I used to ask Mark to tell me what he had taught, if I had not been assisting, so that I could keep track of how students were doing. Now I just sit quietly with the students as they show in the way they are being what has taken place. Three people in the same small group lesson with Mark may all shift in different ways, one may seem brighter, another shaky and tender, another intrigued and determined to do work on their T'ai Chi. It is very humbling.
Have a wonderful New Year,
Love from Caroline.
