Memory story · made up to help you remember

“Wake up with the dragon! Imagine a majestic dragon stirring in the morning mist between 7 and 9 A.M. This radical represents the energy of growth, the vibration of life, and the beginning of a hard day's work. When you see it, think of agricultural labor, the shaking of a tremor, and the powerful spirit of the zodiac dragon.”
