Yesterday was the 5th Memorial of my teacher, Gabriel Chin. We got together at The Cube at 4 o’clock to practice Tai-Chi and then we all went over to TK Wu for dinner (a Taiwanese Restaurant. Gabriel was personal friend with the cook and owner of the restaurant. He help the owner set up the restaurant. They are family).
It was great to see all the people. Before we started the White Crane Chi-Gong and Tai-Chi, we were catching up with each other. Before it was time to start, one of the original members came up to me and said “Isn’t it interesting that it been 5 years since Gabriel left us, and we are still getting together here to celebrate the legacy he left us. Makes you think about what’s important in life. I think you should mention that before we start.” (This was Joseph Staron blaming the idea on Jeff Nofts. Between the 2 of them, you can never know.). It does make you think about life doesn’t it?
I was chewing on this big thought more this morning and I thought it was interesting that 1/3 of the people that gathered never new him. They were new students. They just got together because Gabriel had shared something with us that we can share with them.
