hoopla!

asian new year has crept up on us again. i only realised because i got dragged out to one of the local festivals. ANYWAY the point is...one of the old superstitions is that you have to clear all your debts up before the new year so you can start it afresh.

so it got me thinking...i mean there are the monetary debts and all that. but what about the karmic debts? if we don't clear these up...are we doomed to walk around with them all year? it's funny that. a new year is about change and adventure and new things happening. yet some things that we don't or can't clear up in the old year hang around like old ghosts.

maybe that's one of the mysteries of life.
