Fun at dance last night. Large crowd and lots of dances. Turned out that dance on Friday night had a DJ change, which was not for the better. So missing that dance seemed like a good thing in retrospect.

Been reading books about Qi and Qigong. One book was a chronicle of a western doctor's journeys to China and his investigations of Chinese medicine and health practices. The use of Qigong and acupuncture as an analgesic sounds astounding. His encounters with Qigong masters and demonstrations were less convincing, but kept the door open regarding the use of these interventions in healing and taking care of medical problems.

My overall impression is that there is some value in me continuing to explore getting training and experience. I continue to think that there is a key (Qi) for me with this discipline.

I can see myself healing my maladies with this practice and then sharing what I learn with others. I hold those thoughts and possibilities. To help me build my knowledge base, I'll start keeping notes on what I'm reading and doing on this topic.

The book I just read was Encounters with Qi by David Eisenberg.

Today was Father's Day. Did not hear from any of my kids. It's OK, they're still my kids even if they are a bit remiss on keeping up the basic communications.

Today, I've been thinking of starting to look for some kind of writing I can do online or otherwise. I finally feel like I'm ready for some such tasks. Need to do some surfing on the subject and see what emerges.

Energy levels seem OK today. Mainly feeling more grounded each day; feeling centered and not so scattered and looseknit. First day of summer looms. Along comes the longest day of the year. Time to bloom.
