    Just found you while looking for pa kau forms in practice to help with a putting pictures from a book in motion. Interested in sharing knowledge if you are. Taken parts out of many books over the years, practiced and felt it. Noticed your bare feet and see you may know things. They say those who know don't speak and those who speak don't know. The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal one. I apologize for my forward nature in this, but you know who you are. Thank you for helping others to find their own way. Keep those bones breathing.
