Elegant. Raw. Real. Recently early retired, Alex wakes one morning from a dream of developing a new Tai Chi form. Each morning before dawn Alex wanders down to the bay to stand silently awaiting the first intuition of movement. Instead, broken elements of his past converge on him like whirlwinds merging into a torrid life storm. Is life bringing these things together for him to interpret into a form? Is the form bringing his knots and kinks, like stiff muscles, together for him to process so he can move on? Patterns set up from early childhood loom. With years of Taoism, Tai Chi, and street smarts, we perceive through Alex a fresh take on the madness of our lives and silliness of our convictions. A story of pain, love, and the subtle wisdom only time and experience can convey. A great read.
