It has been a long time since I last posted. The reasons are varied and they still exist. Part of the reason, and it is just an excuse rather than a reason, are the random distractions of life. I have some very good distractions, but they are just an excuse.
The other reason for not posting is that I lack a clear focus as to what I am trying to convey in posts. I have gone back and forth between posts being the vehicle for reviewing the prime literature that informs my process and post being a reflection on what I am reading and thinking.
My ultimate objective is to shed light on the physiology of tai chi. It is a vastly broad objective with no expectation that an answer will be found. The process is about creating questions and then shedding some light on them for consideration.
So, this post is just a statement of a new direction. Reviews of literature, such as Job's Body need to be kept in the content of the pages. At this point the pages are clear. They are the titles of the several books that I have found that reflect on the physiology of tai chi. Reading and rereading these books continues to open up new ideas about what is going on in the body/mind while doing tai chi. I can and will probably never finish with the process of gleaning from these books the gems that I want to reflect upon,
Posting needs to become a spontaneous expression of an idea that arises from this reading. Post may make reference to the passage and refer the reader to the pages that inspired the idea, or to the book in general from which the idea came.
I also need to keep in mind that my posts do not need to be answers; they may not even be well formulated questions, but they need to be whatever my reading inspires me to consider. Readers may find many post to be rambling and incoherent and as such, can be ignored. For me posting is part of the journey. If I don't post, then I am not going anywhere. With that said, I am going to end this post and do some reading. I may post again soon or not for awhile, but, at lease, I am clear to myself, that posting is for me.
