I have chosen to title this piece of work “CHI”. Not only as a nod to my name but also the meaning of the word in my dialect (Igbo) which stands for “God” and the meaning of the word in the Chinese language (often times spelled “Qi”) which stands for “Energy”. I get a certain recharge or flow of energy whenever I find myself at the beach; energy to stay inspired, energy to push myself in the midst of turbulent waters, energy to keep myself afloat and thrive. This drive has not always come so easy to me but time and time again I reclaim it through awareness of self; spirit, mind, body, chi. @ManicPandaa
