The Details:
It's 56 at the house. The sunrise was at 6:50. The high tide was at 9:36,
The Practice:
I just calculated that 10,000 days from June 30, 2001 is Nov. 15, 2028. I've got a ways to go! I didn't realize how old I would be in 10,000 days! Navigating old age and retirement have been some of the most challenging aspects of this project. So far so good but I suspect that the last 1,000 days are going to be the most challenging and difficult to navigate. Oy!
I started inside with reading the last poem from Mary Oliver's book Evidence along with guitar and drum set practices.
Next I went out to the backyard and did a round of Taiji Staff, Monkey Staff and Lo Family Staff forms focused on consistency and the correct sequence using the best basics this old body is capable of.
Next I did a brief warm up using the first few of The 10 focused on health.
Next I did a Round (left side) I had several times throughout the form wondering if I'm still on the left side. Now that I have both sides feeling the same I have to keep the 'sides' separated consciously. I find that if I either space out or access a new feeling or principle that I may slip over to the 'other' side. Oy!
Next I did a round of Anyo Anim focused on quality basics, proper sequence, applications and consistency.
Next I did a round of Wansu Kata focused on proper sequence and health.
I finished with Healing Qigong.
