This year comes on with all the force, and all the drama of a tiger. It is a perfect fit, too, because this Year of the Tiger will demonstrate very large changes. The New Year began on Valentine’s Day, and all of these things will come into play. We don’t know how it will turn out, but we can guess. She wants me to keep in mind that everything is negotiable, and everything that we decide can be reconsidered, if it becomes clear that the one true path is not as true as it looked from afar. This is the time when things are not what they seem, and can’t be decided until we can see them when they are sleeping.
We might, however, find ourselves learning the next part of our romantic cycle from the inside of a Chinese restaurant. Singapore is lovely most any time of year, and the city-state is built for travelers, it seems, or at least it is particularly welcoming for those who come when they are in love. I want to ask the Tiger if we will be in love for the entire year, and if there is a year beyond this one. All this is to say, I want to know where this is going. But the tiger is a year, and the way a year speaks is by unfolding, week by week, and you can’t ask it to skip ahead.
Time understands itself, however, and maddeningly is always assuming that everyone else has the language and thought to understand it too. I am not stuck in any particular moment, but am becoming very fond of the present one. A day can sometimes determine a future faster than a year, even if that year is a Tiger. The year might be asking me to move too quickly, to plan a wedding before the first kiss, but the day will always open up to tell us both that everything we ever wanted is possible in this moment, and no other moment.
