My good friend, Steve Moore, died 12 years ago. Back then, I made this in his memory. Our friendship started as two Yijing geeks meeting in cyberspace, not because of his comics or Fortean Times career. Through him I got to befriend Alan Moore. We both got to write his obituary in Fortean Times, Alan talking about his life long friendship with Steve and me talking about Steve's contributions to the field of Yixue. He's still dearly missed.

In 2009 when I started studying Chinese, a big thing at the time that helped me stick to it was: Any time I mentioned to someone I wanted to learn Chinese, I'd get intense positive feedback:
"man that's so smart"
"oh you're gonna find a great job"
"that's the future, right?"

Geremie Barme explaining how even in dark times, study of China can reveal a "vast world of literature, history and thought... [and] a study of human greatness, genius and potential." See his essay in defense of Sinology via @chinaheritage

「以冬日至，致天神人鬼。」
“On the winter solstice, we honor the gods in the heavens and the ghosts among us.”
-The Rites of Zhou 周禮 (2nd century BCE)
This has been a long year — years — of ghosts.
May the days ahead bring more light.
