Stand/sit

My instructors' spoke of stand/sit as a simultaneous not a sequential movement. Sounds contradictory. At the time, I figured my tai chi was no where near far enough to get it. Recently I've experienced the internal sensation of dropping simultaneously with the lengthening of the spine so that I feel as if I am standing taller. Perhaps, it is another opening to be explored.

"Openings" in tai chi are like doors into an unfamiliar house. I know it is something new, but cannot know what I will find. It is a beginning with possibilities. Wish I had more energy to pursue more of the possibilities.
