John,
A New Year, A New Chapter
As we step into 2025, we also usher in the Year of the Snake—a symbol of transformation, resilience, and renewal. While the world may feel heavy with sadness and uncertainty, the snake reminds us that change is possible, growth is inevitable, and hope is ever-present.
The Year of the Snake invites us to reflect on its powerful symbolism:
Transformation: Like the snake shedding its skin, this is a time to release what no longer serves us and embrace new beginnings.
Wisdom: The snake represents insight and intuition, encouraging thoughtful decisions and deeper understanding.
Resilience: Snakes adapt to their surroundings gracefully, reminding us of our strength in uncertain times.
Healing: The snake, a traditional symbol of healing, inspires renewal and recovery for individuals and communities.
Lunar New Year festivities across Oregon offer a vibrant reminder of these themes. From colorful parades and traditional dances to shared meals and family gatherings, these celebrations unite communities in joy and unity. They’re an opportunity to honor the past while welcoming the promise of the year ahead.
This year, let’s embrace the energy of the snake to build a brighter, more compassionate future for all Oregonians.
