We celebrated yesterday. A Chinese New Year’s Eve feast of homemade Kung Pao Chicken and Spicy/Crispy Prawns in Garlic, Ginger and Beer. We cleaned our flat over the weekend, asked the Kitchen God to report favorably on us this year and we made sure to open all our doors and windows at midnight to let the bad luck from last year out and the good luck for the New Year in.

This year we’ll be celebrate twelve new holidays - some from other cultures and some we just make up on our own for things we wish to celebrate.

Chinese New Year - one down, eleven to go.

fearsome road

You must choose the fearsome road haunted with raging doubts, menacing questions & fathomless ambiguities. For there is life.

Thorn Crown Chapel, Eureka Springs, AR

I’ve been to this chapel three different times as a child and a teenager.

It has always reminded me of the line from the Robert Frost poem, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening:

The woods are lovely dark and deep …

It is another example of nature being the ultimate window to the spirit.

At least I think so.

I believe in nature. I believe in beauty and humanity, poetry and literature.

I believe in life and the happy tragic heart swell that accompanies it.

I believe in awe and the prayers, hopes, desires of the human spirit.

If I were to attend a church, gaze upon something worthy of worship,
it might be this.
