When an archer is shooting for fun
He has all his skill.
If he shoots for a brass buckle
He is already nervous.
If he shoots for a prize of gold
He goes blind
Or sees two targets –
He is out of his mind.
His skill has not changed,
But the prize divides him.
He cares.
He thinks more of winning
Than of shooting –
And the need to win
Drains him of power.

Sometime you just need a break - Ocean Isle Energetics We all get caught up in our daily lives. Whether we have a high-powered job or not, whether we have demanding family obligations or not, our days fill with activities and relationships and obligations that tear us away from our center. That’s where I found myself in March. I had committed to activities and responsibilities, including teaching qigong and tai chi and some Reiki classes, and running weekly tournaments for my Ladies Golf Association. [ 522 more words. ]
