New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Black
Incense of the day: Gardenia On this day, folks in China observe the Children's Festival. The Chinese enjoy a rich family life with very strong ties through the generations. That is, the Chinese revere their ancestors, and children represent a continuing life for the departed. If you have children, today is a good time to take them for a picnic or a walk in the park. If you don't have children but think you may want some someday, today is a good day to practice. Take a friend's children on an outing, and give the parents a day off. Here is a special blessing you can say silently during the excursion: Father, mother, bless each other. God bless the little boys, and goddess bless the girls. They make a joyful noise, skipping feet, bouncing curls! |
