Yes, I do.
That was my fortune from New Moon week outing to a Chinese restaurant.
I am not superstitious but I caught a cold and was miserable Friday the 13th. This is what happens when you are “too busy” to practice yoga – skip it and your immune system is compromised. Should have been resting but had to see that rare Honey Full Moon – so beautiful. It was an evening where I felt so exhausted – too drained to cook dinner, having sustained myself on green tea and half a banana all day… dinner should be a bit nourishing, I was feeling better and craved sizzling rice soup (and I put some ginger slivers from the Xiao Long Bao “XLB” dipping sauce…lovely for the respiratory blockages). Chinese restaurant is always full of 3-4 generation families, it’s a joy to witness such filial atmosphere.
I realize it’s quite kitsch for some but… I love the idea of fortune cookies – I give away the cookie part but enjoy cracking it open with anticipation of the fortune inside. It brings out the inner child in me, lol
Here are the sampling of the fortunes we read to each other this Full Moon weekend:
“Help people reach their full potential”
“In the ocean of knowledge, only those who want to learn will see the land.”
“Dogs have owners, cats have staff.”
“Ignorance on fire is better than knowledge on ice.” ?
“If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything.”
Guess which one was mine?
Yes, the first one… of course.
What a brand name for a fortune cookie – “Super K Fortune Cookie” !?
How super is that?!!!
K is super !? Humility a virtue… modesty ?
Whenever I’m around someone who is modest, I think, ‘Run like hell and all of fire.’ You don’t want modesty, you want humility.
