Tai Chi and Calligraphy
By: Peter Stankov
I’m writing this with a pencil on a notebook. And it’s exactly like
making the Tai Chi form. The letters are the form, the skill to move
your hand without effort is the essence.
Knowing the meaning of ‘form’ and ‘essence’ is very important for every
art and Tai Chi is an art. Calligraphy is an art too.
Since I was a little boy, my handwriting has always been ugly. But Tai
Chi practice gave me an idea and now I enjoy writing every single letter
of every single word in a beautiful way. And this doesn’t mean that I
use a gum.-)
The form is the letter, the essence is being careful and enjoying every
millimeter (0,039 inch :-) of the writing process.
Write a page on your favorite theme and send it to me (like I’ve done).
