Seeing the simplicity of things takes some doing doesn't it? I've also found that the way I look at people can help whether I'm happy to see them coming or going too. It's that damn simplicity thing again. ;-) John P.S. I've also noticed when I'm in a really bad mood, there are many people I don't like to see coming, but when I'm really on top of the world I seem to like everyone... coming or going. Go figure.

I usually find that if a move seems complicated, I am doing it wrong. The moves are very simple, what is difficult is doing them correctly, in a relaxed state. Like communicating effectively using only one syllable words, stringing all those simple moves together with fluid transition requires patience, practice and persistence! Ah, but when you succeed there is happiness,joy, and satisfaction! And when you have really succeeded onlookers will see you and say, oh that is too easy to do anything. Thank you again for your blog, it makes me think! One other thought is that everyone makes me glad, some by coming and some by going! Simplicity is not simple.

Focus is required in our lives to be happy and to serve others to be happy. Knowing absolutely nothing of Thai-Chi It seems hard to be a good pupil and to stick it out. To make it a way of life would make me happy is what I feel when I read all of Johns Blurbs on Thai-Chi which give me great hope that I will find great Joy from Tai-Chi.
