So many forms of Tai Chi and different ways of doing them.
Ultimately all ways come from one way; which at it's time of
creation, was destined to become many ways through the evolution of
physical and spiritual growth. My interpretation of Tai Chi comes
from my own experiences and perspectives through life. We are all
individuals; we are all built differently and we all think and feel
differently. Tai Chi is an expression of who and what we are. To
learn Tai Chi well we must have a good teacher, but we must also
not forget that our Tai Chi primarily comes from within us; thus we
are our own master.
While England has been strengthened by a proud isolationism, she
has simultaneously been enriched by the economic, social, and
political complexities that have emerged as people of different
ethnic and cultural backgrounds have moved within her borders, or
when her own citizens have emigrated among those foreigners to live
or rule. This book explores the foreign element in English culture
and the attempt by English writers from the early 19th to the mid
20th century to portray their complex and often ambiguous responses
to that doubly foreign element among them: the foreign woman. While
being foreign may begin with national or ethnic difference, the
contributors to this book expand it to include other forms of
alienation from a dominant culture, resulting from gender, race,
class, ideology, or temperament. The many factors shaping English
national identity--including British imperialism, immigration
patterns, English family and social structures, and English common
law--have been shaped by gender-related issues. Though not a
prominent literary figure, the foreign woman in England has
received increasingly critical attention in recent years as a
psychological and sociological phenomenon. By beginning with Byron
in the early 19th century and concluding with Lawrence Durrell in
the 20th century, this study contributes to a more comprehensive
vision of the foreign woman as she is portrayed by a number of
British authors, including Shelley, Wordsworth, Charlotte Bronte,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Wilkie Collins, George Eliot, Joseph
Conrad, D. H. Lawrence, and Anita Brookner.
