This was another year that I did not post a Chinese New Year letter. Although I didn't know it at the time, I was being prepared to leave Australia for yet another phase of life, uncertain as to what would happen.

It is a tale of bravery -- a majestic Royal Bengal tiger in the prime of his life -- of astral travel and real travel, of new horizons and breaking with the past and with comforts. And as usual, there are warnings about the path ahead, as well as promise. Read on at the 'Download' link above!
