Thank you for allowing me to share something very personal with you, which is the discovery
that I made about ten years after I had made calligraphy my life and a daily discipline.
Someone came to me to ask me to do a poster for Young Haven Tai Chi. The Young Have Tai
Chi study group. And in the process of creating this poster, I got enough of the description
and a feel for the art of tai chi chuan to know that this was going to be something that
I really wanted to do. So I was ever so fortunate to find myself at Yale University involved
in a lineage which is highly respected and which is so deep and so marvelous that I can't
say enough about it. The person who headed this lineage who has passed away, but who
had headed, who is the head of this lineage, is professor Chen Monchen. And he was master
of five excellencies, including not only tai chi chuan but calligraphy and painting.
