White Crane Spreads Its Wings

{Post: 207/365}

white crane spreads its wings

the newest move

in my repertoire of

tai chi moves

this week 

I will

practice

and learn it well

from

beginning tai chi

grasp bird's tail

reach (push) up, pull back, press forward and push

single whip

raise hands and step up

and white crane spreads its wings

it is as far as I have gotten yet

 in learning the form

but I did also manage to learn

cloud hands

and it is my fave

:)

Tai Chi

{Post: 192/365}

always

wanted to learn

Tai Chi

the movements

are beautiful

at this point

it is difficult

to remember

the exact foot and hand

placements

and transitions

of

cloud hands

repulse monkey

grasp the bird's tail

turns

beginnings

kicks

and don't forget

snake creeps through the grass

i feel already

the aches of stretched muscles

and the confusion

of learning new things

I am up for the challenge

and I hope

before long

to understand and feel

all of the beauty

in tai chi
