Every morning, from 7 AM - 8 AM, this group of ladies (see photo) gathers in the courtyard in front of my apartment building for Tai Chi. I usually see them as I am scurrying from my apartment to the nearby Starbucks, to grab a Frappuccino and a blueberry muffin to go (ahh, the taste of home). Every time, they stop me in my tracks.
Their controlled gestures.
Their slow movements.
Their peaceful demeanor.
The calm aura that surrounds them.
It brings a smile to my face. I find myself a little more recentered. Moving a little slower as well. Stopping to take a deep breath (we will ignore the air pollution comments for right now). Thinking about what's really important in life. And forgetting, at least for a few minutes, about the deadlines for that day.
Zen by association.
And then, back to my Frap. Hey! I got stuff to do. :)
