I hope this finds you well. Over the next few newsletters, I thought I'd share some of the things (and my reflections on things) that Dr. Chi said and passed on to me when I learned with him in Vancouver, Canada in 1987.

We've crossed the equinox line and this morning up on the hill I saw fieldfares and a few redwing gathering and then flying off - northeast.
