I
wish all of my relatives, friends, and other readers a very happy, healthy,
exciting, and prosperous Year of the Rabbit.
With
my usual disclaimer that I’m not a believer in astrology, Oriental, Occidental,
or otherwise, nevertheless I do find the lore amusing and intriguing, and consider
it perhaps worthwhile to consider the legendary characteristics of
the year's representative animal, with a view toward emulating the strengths
and avoiding the weaknesses with which it’s associated.
The
rabbit is said to endow people born in its year with the traits of wisdom and
caution, which might be mistaken for timidity but actually reflect careful
consideration of options before jumping into a new situation. Rabbit people are
also said to be good listeners and kind and sweet by nature, with appreciation
for art and beauty.
Appropriately
for the current world situation, the rabbit is also said to impart calm and
tact, being cool headed and slow to anger. People born in the Year of the Rabbit
are likely, it is said, to be peacemakers.
I
fervently hope that the coming year brings peace where there has been strife,
and justice where there has been iniquity.
May
the coming year be better by far than any that have preceded it, for each of
you and for those you hold dear, and indeed for all of us. Happy New Year and joyous holidays!
