I have picked up my sword again ...

 I have picked up my sword again ... literally and metaphorically. 

It's been few years since my last post and many things have changed. Many a times an inspiration - an urge to write came. But unfortunately me not being a professional writer, I have surrendered to the tyranny of the urgent and ignored the inspiration. I know a beautiful poem about inspiration with the essence that when she (inspiration) comes, she brings the flower buds (ideas) and while leaving she asks for those flower buds turned into bloomed flowers ... So, I have ignored my inspiration many times.

I picked up this book from a library sale many years ago about Tai Ji or Tai Chi by Master Chung Liang Al Huang. On the back cover page of this book it says "Life's learnings are ever-expanding circles, always starting from the Center within." I find it so true. I have accumulated many books over the years many of them on martial arts, philosophy and technical subjects. I may have read some of them end to end at some point of time. But many a times with an event in life, arises a thought in mind, which reminds me of something that I have read in these books. I go back to the book and find the paragraph or pages with the new understanding only to find how it confirms with what I had read earlier. Life moves in ever-expanding circles always starting from the Center within. One comes back to the same point, only with a deeper and broader understanding.
