Good Luck Tags

I had just quit my job to come to China and learn Chinese. My mind was an amalgam of worry at the prospect of not having a steady salary for the next few months and happiness as well at being free from the shackles of a job for the time being. Seeing these prayer tags in a Chinese temple brought a smile to my face. They were signs. Waving in the wind. Whispering to me that life was wonderful. All I needed to do was breathe deep and take it into my being. Soul full and mind empty, I left the temple to begin my new adventure.
