Chi
I will walk strong.
When I cannot walk,
I will stand.
When I cannot stand,
I will sit.
When I cannot sit,
I will lie down,
until I can
rise again.
When we’re working with our arms, I often have to stop, and let my shoulders rest. I also sit down, sometimes. But no matter what, I focus and watch.
They keep telling me that the trick is to push yourself beyond your limits, but not to push yourself too hard. What’s that supposed to mean?
It remains difficult to find the limit, but I’m doing what I can, and after class, I am exhausted.
