~TAILI WU – YEAR of the TIGER !!

GREETINGS – MY DIVERSE, ZODIAC TRIBES !!
THE YEAR of the WATER / TIGER 2022 . . IS ABOUT TO BE UPON US / FEB 1st.

bye the way: malleable ‘clay’, and fluid ‘water’ – are not that far apart.
and, work well / to produce utilitarian vessels, (pottery) (poetry) . . . together.

& . . . SO:

EVERY BIT OF INDIGENOUS / COSMIC INFORMATION – IS LIKE A DROP OF WATER . .
TO A THIRSTY BIO / EARTH-ROOTED HUMAN BEING, LOOKING FOR . . ‘hints’ to UNDERSTANDING / and DE-CODING . . what’s in the future, and how best to cope, or be inspired by the dynamics of all those human characters – we will encounter,
and, perhaps . . even, birth !!

perhaps more than half the world !!, have found the Chinese Zodiac, is . . especially helpful / with regards to determining a MIND-SET, A PATH OUTWARD, and a PATH INWARD,
and . . so on, & so:
with regards to the incoming ‘YEAR of the WATER TIGER’ . . .
the GREAT STRENGTH TO GO FORWARD / has it’s more usual impulsive fierceness / tempered to a fluid muscular forcefulness, that is muscle, skills – tempered with some caution, fierceness tempered with fluid water motion . . which is a good thing.
think: poet / scholar / knight / explorer.

apparently, with just a personal skimming glance at the internet / while trying to get a handle on “what is a water tiger” ?!!
I found out, surprise, NOT !!
there is a NEW MOON in CAPRICORN / and a LOT OF . . . AIRES in the SKY !!
which must explain this sudden burst of not only astrology baiting, but my even wanting to resume writing,
as I am . . . a hardcore ARIES.
which accounts for my childlike soul, but seriously . . do not under estimate me !!
nor – talk down to me.
I come out of wood-burning sparks of fire — way, way alive / with both fists in the air !!

& . . . SO: / & . . . SEW:

AFTER, A DEEP, DEEP INTROSPECTIVE REST . . . / THANKS TO . . . TAILI WU / on the IG
I GOT THE ‘HEADS UP’ – WE ARE ABOUT TO ENTER /
THE CHINESE NEW YEAR of 2022 – – –
the . . YEAR of the WATER TIGER !!
ALL THINGS FLUID, FAST, BRAVE, and STRONG !! ARE GOOD – TO GO !!

“In the face of setbacks, resistance, or failure, tigers make prompt decisions,
and are willing to re-start from scratch – until they succeed.”
though ‘caution’ and ‘luck’ are also words that bubble up through the collective hive / perhaps as chorus / to the tiger’s streak of rebellion and impulsiveness.
there seems to be a lot of back & forth on that. just as water is so necessary for life, it can be a force of destruction. best to well-consider the choices, take heed.
~Internet
(do I personally have a lot of faith in that ? I don’t know / just take care, and look both ways – on that motorcycle !!)
(world: please, get where – you need to go. without violence.)
(and, with a little bit of – family love, and perhaps accompanied by a heavenly soundtrack, the better to dream, & think, by.)

& P.S.

I guess you might also be very lucky – if you know of someone, about to be born . .
as, a baby in the womb / is often evoked to help in one’s understanding of the powerful, yet fluid life force . . of the ‘Water Tiger’ / tempered, & nourished by it’s watery attributes.
