adgray
Basia – worth the wetness!
I once did Tai Chi from a master and I felt the Chi explode in me – when I left his teaching I gave my master a print of a wave breaking like this [not nearly as good tho!] and explained it was how I imagined when I felt the chi – he was astonished as that’s how he felt too! – I wish I still saw him now and could buy & give this to him – perhaps I should buy it for me!
~ thank you for the memory & the Chi Rush! ~ adg

There are a lot of these, but this one is very nicely done! I love the contrast of the static horizon on the left, and the spray on the right, which seems to meld into the clouds in the background.
