The year of the water dragon. A watery fiery combination. A lot of expectations on board. As the celebration always associated with wordly luck and wishes, this year one could expect an exhilarating busy ventures in achieving targets and ambitions where it is considered a rare auspicious occasion to be blessed with a long-term happiness. It is for most of us who honor the event a very true thing indeed.

I can’t help being a superstitious person. I still vaguely remember the feeling of suspense listening to tales of the mysterious unknown which dwells among us. It doesn’t have to be a tangible idea as simple as a mere supernatural being, but also vague notions as taboos that would sound silly enough to some. There are predictions of the Chinese astrology, feng shui of everything that involves anything that incorporates energy, and so much more any skeptics would raised their eyebrows in disbelief. But as we grow, our perception of the world matures, this view has evolved into something that doesn’t come from merely blind faith. I always thought these things are magical. And before a movie quotes that “Magic is a science that hasn’t been discovered yet” I already perceive that concept as a fact.

I remember watching a science fiction movie in the 80′s and thought how amazing it is if we can see the face of the other person connecting with us via phone of other devices like what they were having in the movie. And there’s Skype and 3G-s mobile. And I thought again how amazing if we can play games without a joystick or any other devices, if there is some sensor capturing our body / finger / hands movement. And there’s Wii.

So I thought, all of the predictions are somehow connected with Einstein’s relativity theory involving time and space. So does Feng Shui is the extension of finer science faculty of physics, mathematics, geology, geo-physics, and bio energies that will be explained in the future. And the astrology itself are made possible by the advanced technology of astrophysics, astronomy, and bio-energy. At least that won’t make me an ignorant inquisitor from 16th century accusing a 21st century lady committing witchcraft after watching her using a flashlight.

I realize it’s a bit of an unconventional subject brought up for this event. The idea just pops into my head when reading a forecast and one can’t help but think there’s a great design/science behind every magic. One can’t dismiss it as another peculiar belief. And one shouldn’t always rely on those things too eagerly too because it hasn’t been deemed as science, Even if it has, science evolves and thus has it’s mercurial side. The only best thing to rely on is actually our conviction by seeing the nature of the world that always seeks balance and are in constant balance. So I hope I will always bear to mind that happiness, misfortunes, luck, and success derived from our self measured ideals. And everything that’s brought to our lap are both magical and explainable in the end.

Gong Xi Fat Choi, everyone! And many magical unexplainable blessings to come!
