Tai Chi is Sometimes a Prayer

It started by going to the ocean to just shoot some Tai Chi play in the early morning, before the beach got crowded. But along the way of editing this video, I found myself thinking only of chaos the world that surrounds us. We had leaders once who inspired us, and pointed the way to a future when prejudice, injustice, poverty, war and intolerance was behind us. And suddenly I realized that Tai Chi is sometimes a prayer in motion - saying with our whole bodies what we are saying in our hearts. Saying to those heroes who have been taken from us that we have not forgotten. Tai Chi teaches us in each generation to pick up the torch, and build a bridge to that future. Yes, we can.

Other martial arts teach us how to hurt each other. Tai Chi teaches us how to heal each other. Other martial arts speak of aggression; Tai Chi speaks of compassion. Other martial arts are rooted in violence; Tai Chi is rooted benevolence. Other martial arts focus on human conflict and combat. But in Tai Chi we fight disease and pain, and we combat depression, aging and death.
