Year of the Dragon

A meditation on color vs. grayscale, and living in dynamic times

I was born in the Year of the Dragon—the Fire Dragon, to be specific, so if you’re into all that, I’ll let you do the math. I don’t really believe in the Chinese Zodiac; I think the universe is a lot more specific and personal than that, but it’s an interesting thought experiment as far as it goes. I do concur that when I read a description of Dragon¹, I certainly see me. And the Year of the Dragon is supposed to be, shall we say, dynamic. This happens to ring true to my “lived experience.”
