Tai Chi Life Lessons

Q: Three birds on a tree. One decides to fly. How many birds are left?

A: Three.

Q: How come?

A: Because decisions are not enough for something to happen. The bird has to take “action” after taking a decision.

A few weeks ago I decided to learn Tai Chi and I took action. I attended a few lessons and I’ll continue doing it enshallah (God Willing) not only because of its health benefits, but also, because doing it, for a relatively very short time, taught me great lessons in life.

Here are the lessons…

Yes.. I knew

Yes.. I knew

Yes, I knew you were there just in front of me.

Yes, I knew you were looking at me.

Yes, I remember how we used to be.

Yes, I forgive you for what you did unintentionally.

A Photo I took
of the Egyptian Band Cairokee playing at City Stars Mall

Yes, I am now free.

Yes, you were right to remind me..

that holding on to the past isn't for me

I never let the past hold me

Thanks for reminding me

Yes, I walked away intentionally

Yes, I am free

I was inspired the words of this poem on 27 February after Cairokee's Concert at City Stars Mall.

Great Band , you should check them out if you don't already know them.
