Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!

Thank you for your story. I had to look up Rumi. My daughter works in transport safety, and there is usually some issue when they dry run these AVs. One wonders what the point is when they take you to some boring office, but I guess the ride can be pleasant, especially if they made breakfast too.
Hi Susan – I am glad you were inspired to look up Rumi, definitely a favorite one of my inspirations. Wow that is interesting that your daughter works in transport safety, and has actually seen issues with these autonomous vehicles. Yes, these new AVs are interesting, but for now, I still prefer an old school bicycle. 🙂

These days I prefer Yoga, which does not promote or sensationalize violence. My Dojo is actually focused on Chinese script study, as I feel handwriting is a lost art. It is great to make the connection with you, and I really enjoyed hearing your voice, so please keep recording!

Thank you for the reply Culture Dragon. Some years back I used to suffer with a very bad back, so I decided to try acupuncture. Right away I began to feel better, and after 5 sessions my back was healed, and has not been any trouble since, so that led me to the puzzle of the energy called chi. So I took up Martial Arts for that part of it that centers… Read more »

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleYes, you are right that the 气 (Qi) is the best part of martial arts, but 气 can also be studied via other non-violent disciplines, my favorite of which is 气 功 (Qi Gong). This character 功 (Gong) translates to “achievement through great effort”. For example, 功 夫 (Gong Fu) or Kung Fu as they say in the west. Notice the 功 (Gong) is the same in both terms above.

Hi Culture Dragon, I am on this site by Buce Frantzis. I have a video by him named ”Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong – You might find this site of interest to you.
I have enclosed a picture of Arabic calligraphy, really amazing and let me know if you find the site on Qigong – Eric.
Great story, Culture Dragon. I love this phrase “You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”. This phrase slapped me on my face. Wow 🙂 this phrase is right. Why crawl if you can fly?
