“Gypsy!” “Interloper!”

“Swarthy creature pedalling ‘alternative’ classes in our Village Hall.”

One congenial, uninvited man with something to share, dares to demonstrate his gift before an Art class.

With grace and poise, for just a few moments he flows life into movement, breath into beauty, polarity into non-polarity, health and wisdom from ancient times into blinkered rural attitudes.

Faces stuck fast to landscape-filled canvases, minds jammed with ignorance and bigotry, the artists cannot see; do not capture the essence of his offering.

Blind self-promotion? Life-giving exercise?

The wind blows where it will, at home or abroad!

    Yoga, Thai Chi, Qigong, Pilates all seem a bit like hard work to me. Cuppa Cha is more my kinda thing to get my energy going. :-)

    Nicely told tale, Ursula!
