Flow

There is a bit of a blockage removal theme to this week in my world. If pipes aren’t kept free of debris then it seems that all sorts of mayhem can ensue.

Several days ago, the drain from the sink in the kitchen became blocked. A few minutes of vigorous plunging made it worse. Subsequently, despite administering liberal quantities increasingly un-PC chemicals, peaking at something that claimed to be 92% sulphuric acid, we were no nearer free flow. Such was the intensity of my suction activity that there were resulting failures in the integrity of the pipe-work beneath the sink and the muscle fibre in my right arm.

Anyway, I was impressed by the levels of angst that the blockage caused. By the time it was eventually ejected at high speed from the sawn off pipe at first floor level at the back of the house, narrowly missing my inquisitive Dad, I had endured several days of blockages and leaks in my own plumbing. My energy had not been flowing as well as it might. It occurred to me that if energy encounters obstacles as it makes its way round my body, it’s no wonder that I can become ill. Imagine the damage that years of energy build-up, leaks and what have you can do to you. I must do Tai Chi more regularly.
