“Paw Me Up” (喵喵爪)

Physics is the study of the universe, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galaxies. It can also explain luck, since all of life is a matter of cause and effect. While it seems arbitrary and without method there is a very calculated system behind it all. The difference lies in how we perceive opportunities or mischances. UCLA Professor Maia Young finds that personality and attitude play into luck more than we realize. Being optimistic about life may just influence you to try harder. It’s this persistence that has a self-reinforcing effect, resulting in a “good luck cycle”. Believe and you will be rewarded! Luck and our behavior are very much intertwined and connected at the hip. The jīnmāo (招财猫) or Chinese lucky golden cat, is a symbol of wealth and prosperity ubiquitous in Asian cultures. Adorning businesses, homes, and windows of all kinds, author Katherine M. Ball describes it as “a simple and popular form of magic”. A magic trick that’s sure to sweep you off your feet and never let go.

“Eye Of Providence” (明眸​​​​​​​​​​​​​​)

Some people think that if everyone went around doing whatever they wanted, the world would be pure unadulterated chaos. Just imagine giving in to any and every desire, want, or need. What kind of world would that be? Aleister Crowley believes that one should “do what thou wilt”. In other words, go ahead and chase whatever your heart desires. Determine your own true will and follow it! It is worth pursuing whatever you are willing to do. In Greek mythology Hedone is an important philosophical concept, personified as the goddess of pleasure and enjoyment. According to Aristotelian ethics, pleasure will reveal a person’s true character, and therefore is worth exploring. An example of this concept is “oikeia hedone” or proper pleasure. Similarly, German philosopher Martin Heidegger’s interpretation is that enjoyment is a movement of the soul which results in tranquility and peace. Following this line of logic, one must definitely “do what thou wilt”. And yes, someone will always be watching, but don’t you think that just makes it more fun?

“Spring Zephyr” (春风和煦)

Greek god of the west wind Zephyrus blows his sweet breath across the land creating a soft gentle breeze. Vivid butterflies do their sparkling dance, bringing with them the promise of spring and shine. In Chinese thought, spring is associated with growth, wind, patience, and altruism. In fact, there is a Chinese system known as “wuxing” (五行) or the five phases, that is used to explain a variety of phenomena, for example the seasons. Spring is a period of growth and movement, summer is a period of blooming, late summer is associated with stability, autumn is a period of harvesting, and winter is a period of rest and stillness. Those who are watchful and vigilant will soon realize these five elements cycle in and around everything. Which is why this philosophy is so engrained in Chinese culture. Think about it, all things sprout and grow and eventually wither away. The wuxing are thought to be cosmic agents which describe the transformations of nature and are widely used in Chinese philosophy, as well as disparate fields like astrology, martial arts, and even the art of catching butterflies! Spring is the easiest of seasons, just watch our winged friends ride the winds nonchalantly and without resistance. Remember spring is just the beginning!
