The Chinese calculate age based on the lunar cycle not on the calendar year. In their culture, a person’s experience and wisdom are the basis for how someone is viewed, not their physical age. Where we might see only a young boy, upon looking deeper there may indeed be ancient wisdom.

In recent times many of us have had to deal with colossal disappointments in the form of personal, political, economic, and even ecological disasters. This has caused many of us to feel a loss of control and a feeling of absolute powerlessness in our personal lives.
