Happy Chinese New Year! - a photo on Flickriver

            I'm going to be posting two photos both today and tomorrow, which is rare for me but these birthdays are all coming at once lol!

I love Chinese New Year in Chicago!  Though I now live farther from the celebrations in Chinatown on the South side, I have very fond memories of the celebrations in years past, especially before the pandemic, and the energy of various communities coming together.  It reminds me that we are one living human entity in our deepest joys as well as in our greatest moments of suffering.  We forget that during our day to day minutiae and we also forget how to be human. There are echoes throughout time in photographs and we relive these experiences again and again. 

This is the Year of the Rabbit, though I was just reading in the Vietnamese zodiac and the Gurung zodiac, the cat takes the place of the rabbit and that makes me really happy. 

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year!
