The world is full
of magical things
patiently waiting
for our wits to
grow sharper.
Bertrand Russell
Practicing for the Lion Dance
We learn by practice.
Whether it means to
learn to dance by
practicing dancing or to
learn to live by
practicing living,
the principles are the same.
One becomes in some area
an athlete of God.
Martha Graham
This year, we can not gather
in the crowded streets,
rubbing shoulders,
enveloped in smoke
and sound!
Red Lanterns
and graceful dancers
will live in our memory!
I cannot buy my OX T-Shirts,
or lucky calligraphy,
Nor
gorge on Jian Dui
and noodles!
Not this year.
Hot, Oily Jian Dui!
Thrashing Dragon!
Stand Off!
No throngs around
the Shinto shrines
and temples. . .
I wish you abundance,
Health and Wealth!
Let's Celebrate New Beginnings
each in our own way!
Practice rather
than preach.
Make of your life an
affirmation, defined by
your ideals, not the
negation of others.
Alexander Haig
Everything we do
is practice for
something greater than
where we currently are.
Adam Kirk Smith
