If you celebrate Chinese New Year, or the lunar new year, have fun today with a new start, a beginning where there are so many choices available.
I read a newsletter by Jay Kuo, who comments on current events, and his personal life.
Jay Kuo's sister informed him that:
...snakes are not feared but revered in China: “As symbols of wisdom, these ‘little dragons’ are celebrated in Chinese culture for their intuition, transformational power, protection, prosperity, and good luck!”
Jay continues in his substack publication:
My family and I are part of the LGBTQ+ community, and we are under attack as never before. From my rights as a gay father, to the queer-identifying nieces in the next Kuo generation, to even my trans nephew’s rights to identify as the gender he truly is, everything is on the line.

Regarding the political changes, I have already drawn on my own line in the sand...as expressed in a blog several days ago,
'I will not "work together" to remove civil rights from anyone.' See blog Taking a Stand.
It’s really easy to be kind to others when I remember that none of us came into this world with a manual about how to get it all right. |

DeleteHi Barbara, I still don't like snakes...although the black snakes around here (working with our fox family) do keep the rodents under check. My sympathies are with Jay Kuo and others facing the new chaos and challenges. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteThanks, and we could be the anti-snake group. Something like the "Don't Tread on Me" guys...though no snakes on our flag, please. Let's go live in Ireland!
DeleteI simply don't understand who feels harmed by the existence of the LGBTetc. community.
ReplyDeleteAny homophobic people are totally cringing when they discover a friend of their (name relation here) is gay etc. It's like all irrational fears. Mine is snakes.
DeleteHappy New Lunar Year to you. May you have happiness, health and peace.
