Old and new

Today we were back in Stornäset för a Qi Gong refresher. It was good to talk about various questions around Qi Gong and then to train the program, move by move.
It was the first time I've done Qi Gong since starting to train Tai Chi. As I trained Qi Gong I was surprised by the difference in focus I seem to have gained through practising Tai Chi. The two are very closely related and a lot of knowledge and experience can be transformed back and forth between the two forms.
In a corner of the room was this old gramophone, next to the CD player and modern TV. A while back the owner played us a record on the old gramophone - there was something very impressive about it. OK, the sound quality was not at all up to modern standards but no electricity was required. You wound it up and it played music. That was real magic!
