LEARNING IS LIFE

 Tai Chi: Mindful Motion A gentle art, Tai Chi's grace, Movement slow, soft breath pace. Meditation, limbs' motion's flow, Medication, lets sickness go. Cloud Hands glide, a soft embrace, White Crane Wings, in time and space. For rehab, it will mend and make, A gentle path, for goodness sake. It eases pain, it stills the mind, A healing peace, you're sure to find. In gentle dance, your body flows, Where calm and balance truly grows. Note:  World Tai Ch Day 2026 was observed on April 25, 2026. The event is celebrated annually on the last Saturday of April, This global event promotes health and mindfulness with the theme "One World; One Breath,

POEM A penguin small, In  coat of night and day, On ice so white, He starts his play. No wings to soar, But fins to glide, The ocean calls, A watery ride. He takes his steps, A shuffle grand, Through fluffy snow, Across the land. Then down he goes, A slippery streak, For fish so good, His hunger to seek.

  Honest Labour: A life well lived Sun shines on all, the same bright ray, For every hand, a work to do today. No matter who you are, or where you stand, The right to earn, held in your hand. A life of toil, a life of grace, With honest work, in time and place. The fruits of labor, hard and true, For self and others, shared anew. Your honest effort, strong and deep, For good of all, the promises to keep. Your work, a thread, in life's grand weave, For you, for them, believe, believe. Work and life, a single stream, Each making whole, the other's dream. Together flowing, side by side, With purpose strong, and honest pride.

 Blow Hot And Cold: Limericks A fellow who blows hot and cold, Calls a nation a "hellhole," I’m told. Then praises the land, With a shift of his hand, Oh, a great land, so brave and so bold! From hellhole, a digital crew, With skills, their future they hew. A global design, Their fortunes align, A masterstroke, fresh and new

QUOTES ON CONDITIONING To be aware of my conditioning means I am not trying to go beyond it, not trying to be free of the conditioning. I must see it as it actually is. It is very difficult for the mind to free itself from its conditioning and go beyond it because this conditioning is imposed upon it, not only by society but by itself. The conditioning of a religious culture is propaganda, a series of acceptances of beliefs, all arising through fear and the demand for security. There is no noble or better conditioning; all conditioning is pain. The desire to be, or not to be, breeds conditioning, and it is this desire that has to be understood....One form of conditioning can be substituted for another, but it is still conditioning.
