Easier To Hide Away

Scary places
Slimy hovels
Hide away
Can't face the truth
It's too hard to turn
And face what's meant to be
Easier it seems
To keep from myself the
Opportunity to be free

Cloak Of Fear

Creeping up behind me in the night
Here it comes again looking for a fight
The cloak of fear
Brings into question all things that I hold dear
I don't belong here in the dark
But spirit's flame needs a spark
To rekindle the love once inside
Take time again enjoy the ride

Blue

In the basement of Blue
There's a picture of you
Your spirit so true

Bringing rest and cool air
It is calm and slow there
To contemplate and to think

Still waters run deep
It's of peace that you speak
With integrity, purpose

With honour, so sincere
Cooling, calming
It's becoming so clear

Virtuous, Harmonious
Faithful, Peaceful and Serene

About Me

Name: A Deeper Sharon

Location: Bristol, United Kingdom

In late 2001, living a relatively superficial existance. I had considered investigating Tai Chi for a while. I looked on the internet for a local class, there seemed to be many in the area. Drawn by the most interesting website, I rang and attended a beginners workshop in September 2001. Tai Chi since then has been difficult and fulled by life's hardships. By late 2004, I was bored and didn't know why I had Tai Chi in my life. The School I am part of (Rising Dragon Tai Chi) has a residential centre in Herefordshire (Poulstone Court) and in September 2004, I visited for a week long retreat offered by the Principle Instructor of the School. It felt like make or break, the beginning or the end of Tai Chi for me. This retreat touched my heart like nothing had ever touched me in my life before - it felt like I found love, turned a corner and discovered 'my' Tai Chi. Since then it has continued to be a rollercoaster ride and I am now 'up for it' every step of the way. On the back of this experience, I applied for a place on a two year opportunity to engage with life and living Tai Chi, 'The Deepening'.
