I just learned that in Korea, a lot of folk tales start with the line "when tigers used to smoke pipes," sort of equivalent to "once upon a time." https://t.co/P66WappXq7

Tigers and rabbits are contrasted a lot in Asian art and stories. One interpretation I've read says the rabbits are lighting the pipe for the tiger here as a token of gratitude for symbolizing the most difficult, wintery month of the year (Yin, roughly Feb) in the Zodiac.

Hey, these tigers are getting a lot of attention, I'm glad you're all enjoying it. I'd be grateful if you followed me! I tweet about psychology, spirituality, parenting, love and sex, and what I'm learning about how to navigate this strange, gorgeous human life.
