Beautiful Tai Chi

I just took part in the warm up exercises and meditation for Tai Chi. Sometimes there are moments that bring tears to my eyes. The music for the meditation was Barber’s poignant Adagio, the view through the windows, separated by rice paper sliding doors, are mountains and misty rain.

I’m watching the rest of the class now. I have permission to take a photo. 

After Tai Chi, we went for lunch with the teacher, Yukiko and her husband Takahiro. It was a smorgasbord lunch and very delicious. I enjoyed their company very much. 

The view from the window shows the raging water. There has been so much rain that they have opened gates of the dam for safety.
