I learnt how to play the guitar when I was a teenager and then, for a year or two, about a decade later, I earned a living as a session musician. These days I earn my living away from the limelight and recording devices. Nevertheless, here and now another couple of decades later, rarely does a day go by without me being inclined to find a room in the house where I can be alone for just half an hour or so and simply "play guitar".

There should come a time when you can say that you "play" Tai Chi, rather than continually "practising" it.
