Here at the frontier, the leaves fall like rain. Although my neighbors are all barbarians, and you, you are a thousand miles away, there are still two cups at my table.


Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.

The 2017 Lenten Challenge is Over!


Today we end the 2017 Lenten Challenge.

I would like to thank those who stuck it out, those who fell off the wagon and got back on and even those who didn't stick it out. There is always next year.

And now for something completely different...

All was proceeding swimmingly with the 2017 Lenten Challenge . . . until my appendix decided to rupture. After that, not so much (for awhile).

A "once in a lifetime" experience!

Wow! That's a good excuse.

Hi Rick. Thanks for the inspiration. I think I managed most if not all days - mix of taekwondo or conditioning or yoga. Sending very best wishes to you and your family, friends. Nicola

Thank you for commenting, Nicola. I'd like to wish a happy Easter to you and yours as well.

The macro challenge of practicing, optimizing and refining the process of xin, qi and shen continues regardless of the seasonal change.

Yes, and this is a convenient time of the year to rededicate oneself to your practice.
