As the wheel turns, as each day passes, we invite things into our lives: people with whom we share our heart or our scorn, what objects we develop sentiments for in their memories from a vast expanse of fond experiences, wonderful sights and tastes and sounds, and also the pain and sorrow of loss. The world about us, we drink of thee, and weave of it a tapestry of our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. We take them unto ourselves, a blanket, be it heavy or be it sparse. There is something cleansing about the advent of a new year - it is time to shake off those lingering doubts and fears, embrace the love and light that surrounds us, and drink deep the warmth of community, of peace, of the excitement of new adventure. The precise and logical Wood Snake slinks back into the deep grasses, as the intelligent and passionate Fire Horse charges across the horizon. Tonight, we see one out and take up the other. Join us in this celebration as the wheel turns once again. We gather in the Tao Te Ching... on Sunday, February the 22nd at 9pm EST. Join us. | |
