The Tao of Mind

If you but
Have one hour

In a day
To practice

What would
You practice?

Would your pleasure
Be drills or forms

Or a little of both
Or maybe you like

Strength training and
Bag work more coz

If feels so good to
Impact something

And get that sweat out
For that great feeling

Of having achieved
Something at least

Or would you practice
A little of everything

Because everything
Is important

I dunno about you
But if I have

Only one hour
Per day to practice

I’ll only spend it on
Cultivating shen, yi, qi

Because its the basics
Of our taiji without

Which there is
No foundation

To develop further
And realize those

Wonderful principles you read
About in Taiji Classics
