YEAH, WELL STICK A MONEY FROG IN YOUR WINDOW You gotta love Hong Kong. To daughter, Theresa, when she was three it was “Honk Honk.” And it remains so to me today. Feng Shui (pronounced Feng Shui), translates as wind-water in English. This is how the Chinese harmonize their existence with mountains and bodies of water. And with the bad feng shui of the Bank of China. The Bank of China’s building in Honk Honk is triangular, so it has three edges or blades (a.k.a. “poison arrows”) that point outward. They also have huge stone lions sitting on either side of the front entrance. You don’t mess with the Bank of China. A friend sat in an office for five years, facing a Bank of China edge dead-on. His was an energy-sucking existence. Finally, he called Great Teacher, who pointed out the problem with the bank’s placement and said, “Also, you sit facing away from a pillar. This is a knife in your back. Do you find that your ideas are chased into the street and their clothing ripped off and fed to howling dogs?” “Yes, Great Teacher. My career is a water-logged drowned possum.” “You must reposition your desk to directly face the door. Cut a hole in that wall to give you a view of the sea. Put a jade frog in your window. A powerful money frog can defeat the poison arrow.” “I can move my desk, Great Teacher, and the frog is fine, but this is a skyscraper. Bashing a hole in the wall is surely another idea my bosses will pour corndog temperature oil upon from atop the gate. It may turn out to be my final idea. Ever.” “Then hang paintings of the sea there to make the wall disappear.” “Thank you, Great Teacher, oh supreme geomancer.” He wore no ring so I just kissed the knuckle. Just kidding about the pronunciation, by the way. It’s actually spoken “ˈfəŋ-ˈshwē, -ˈshwā” Better? My home office in Bowie, Maryland violates all the rules. First, it’s located in my bedroom, the portal to dreamtime. The natural light is only so-so. There are no oxygen-producing plants (I have a brown thumb, and if you think no plants is bad, try dead plants). I do not sit in a commanding position to attract strong, successful energies. Twin sins of this are that my back faces the door and my front faces a wall. That could explain why I write this kind of stuff. “Grasshopper, you are a neutered cat.” “Yes, Great Teacher.”
