Excellent and rare photos. A beautiful and fitting tribute. It is amazing what one person thrown unwittingly into center stage in life's unjust circumstances, can accomplish when they dare to rise to the challenge with love and civility.
Thank you for sharing, Lucy. :)
And forever, thanks to Dr. King, for helping to open to us all, the opportunity to dream a dream that has elevated and enhanced our collective human journey.
The stillness in stillness is not the real stillness.
Only when there is stillness in movement can the spiritual rhythm appear which pervades heaven and earth.
-Ts'ai-ken T'an
Tai Chi or Taiji?
Both mean the same thing.
The spelling Tai Chi, and its pronunciation "Tie Chee", is from an older translation system called the Wade Giles system.
Taiji (pronounced "Tie Gee") is from the newer translation system, called pinyin, and is closer in sound to the Chinese language.
Remember when we used to say (if you're old enough to remember) Peking? Well, except when ordering duck, we rarely ever hear Peking. That was how we used to pronounce Beijing under the Wade-Giles system.
Wonderful quote...a reminder that we hurt ourselves when we hate others...
ReplyDeleteExactly..and that, no matter what, we always have a choice...
