Yesterday morning a day started with me looking through an old video about Tai Chi Qi Gong. It was over 10 years since I played with it and at times I wished to start again. Music alone was like a heavenly touch that seemed to colour the whole day ahead. But, that was not the end of it.
In the afternoon I visited a friend and had more then a great time in her company. However, she is also trained Tai Chi instructor and we few times spoke about doing the excersizes together. I actually do not remember what caused that sudden impulse yesterday, but soon after it was mentioned we ended up going through those 18 movements I learned years ago.
Few movements through and I had that slightly silly smile on my face and certainly in my heart. That kind of a smile my previous instructor, Katrin, used to remind us to keep on. My heart was happy and felt so home. I felt I could fly and dance at that moment, forever.
Remembering and even more doing the things that make us happy may seem as an obvious and easy thing to do, but at times I forget, things slip through my fingers, eaten by other time and mind consumers. To both remember and experience one such moment yesterday, to feel submerged and washed with joy for those few moments yesterday was a great experience worth remembering, worth thanking for and rejoicing in.
Add to it few but precious moments with my family, beautiful time with a friend, few touches of sunrays and chirping of the birds at sunset that my friend called me out to the balcony to listen to, it was a day filled with droplets worthy of gratitude, of awareness of the wonder in the world around us. And worth respect that they, despite so much that can and does go wrong and is heavy in that same world, respect that they, those small and beautiful things, find their way and their peace to be present like small guardians on our life path.
