People often ask why we dance our Tai Ji form in a circle ....
"In the Sacred Circle"
By Joseph White Eagle
In the sacred circle, no one is above, no one is below, for in the circle we have all been created by the One who is greater, for we would not of been given this life if it was not our destiny to live. In the sacred circle, no one is in front, no one is behind, for in the circle we are all equal in the great vision of the One who is greater, for within you and within me our blood is the same color.
In the sacred circle, we are side by side, step for step, for in the circle no one is perfect and with love and compassion we come together to give each other healing, for we will listen to all who have a voice and we will talk for all life who do not have a voice.
In the sacred circle, I honor and respect your path and you honor and respect my path, for in the circle no one's path is the same and when we can hear and understand our differences, then we will finally see how we are all related. For in this circle we are all skin colors and creeds, but it is love, harmony and peace that makes us all one.
