Invest in Loss

November Trees

Written by Megan Marie McDonald

November trees bare truth.

They have lost their florescent leaves to the breeze of life,

and still they stand tall

in their brittle bones and naked skin.

Yet we still think they are beautiful.

They become easier to climb.

Easier to feel.

Easier to see through.

Their roots reach deeper since there is nothing to pull their energy

in the opposite direction.

They let go to hold on.

And they accept the broken branches as a way of healing. 


Having Fun with Holding the Ball

Written by Yuko Miyahara

“Holding the ball” is a basic exercise in Tai Chi used to develop your “root” and to cultivate energy flow in your body.  It’s simple to do, yet each time you do it, you will discover something new.  When I first started Tai Chi, I preferred learning new movements than sitting in this posture.  But the more I practiced Tai Chi, the more I appreciated “holding the ball” and started to have so much fun.
