I AM Curious

I took a page out of Sihing Burke's playbook this morning and did my Tai Chi Short Form with my eyes closed. It was horrendous!!! My balance was the biggest issue. I couldn't even pivot with both feet on the ground without feeling off balance. Nevermind when I had to lift one leg up. One inch off the ground and I was wobbling and falling over. In fact, I was feeling really dizzy and disoriented by the end.

I don't truly know why I found this so hard. But I almost felt like because I took away my sense of sight, my other senses almost shot out, in an attempt to compensate for that loss. But they went out reactively, in a panic, without any control. And ultimately I kept pulling myself out of my center.

I'm going to try this again moving forward on a regular basis. I think this might be a really good exercise in maintaining my center and staying grounded. Once (if) I establish that, then I might try playing with my other senses more, still with my eyes closed, but in a controlled way. Or perhaps I'll stumble upon something completely different that explains it all.

I have no idea if this is anything relevant to anything. But ideas pop into my head all the time and I like to just run with them and test them out. I like to follow my thoughts.  Learn things.  Figure things out.  Solve problems.  Think outside the box.  Make discoveries.  All of these things...because I AM Curious
