At its heart both festivals are about Spring.
Easter: A celebration of spiritual rebirth, new beginnings & hope.
Qingming: It means Clear & Bright. It is the most important day for ancestor worship in Chinese culture.
It is the only time of the year where my shopping list includes Easter eggs and joss paper.
I will be going to Church this morning, followed by a lovely outing with my family at Gardens by the Bay. Then there is the Easter Egg Hunt for the kids and eating lots of Hot Cross Buns & Qingtuan.
The prevailing theme today is Rejuvenation.
As we usher in the beauty of Spring, let's take a page from Benjamin Graham's book of wisdom, not just for stocks but for life:
The intelligent investor is a realist.
He is a realist that knows while seasons change & loved ones pass, the dividends of family time & peace never lose their value.
