Life lessons. A universal concept, life lessons are intriguing in that we each must have unique personal experiences to arrive at our own takeaways - even though so many of us share similar themes and values. As much as we may want to, we cannot vicariously learn these fundamental truths - as the term implies, we have to live them to realize them. Some of us, however, latch on to these key concepts sooner than others. Jeffrey Fisher landed on these core lessons early and clearly: be persistent, practice confidence, insist on authenticity, adjust and adapt, and, above all, value people. Wrap it up with a bow. You could say he was just being efficient - setting himself up on a distinct path that would carry him from childhood through to his accomplished career as a businessman and educator. Stay the course. Swift and steady as she goes. That was until his course took a sharp left. On September 2, 2011, Jeffrey suffered a severe stroke leaving him partially paralyzed and unable to speak. “Not a lick,” he will often add. This single turning point changed his course completely - setting him down a path marked by years of trials and triumphs that would challenge him to revisit and reassess what he thought he knew about those fundamental life lessons he had held to be true for so long. This is Jeffrey’s story, from start ...to be continued, with all the key players and life lessons revisited along the way.

The author's startling discovery of the commonality of musical scales and DNA amino acids by way of the I-Ching has implications that expands through many areas of our lives and thoughts. It raises questions that reach to the core of who and what we are. Jeffrey Fisher-painter, Tai Chi adept and award-winning composer / recording artist-recounts his decades-long involvement with these puzzles in this first of three volumes. The journey began in the early 1990's, when the author's Tai chi teacher, the miraculous Dr. Marshall Ho'o, mentioned the I-Ching as one of the pillars of Tai Chi Chuan.
