Calligraphy by Lorelei Chang

Happiness, pronounces "Fu" in second intonation in Chinese.
What is happiness in Chinese's mind? Here is my understanding of the character. The character "Fu" tells us all the "secrets" of components of happiness. The left radical means clothing, right side has the characters "mouth", and "field", very top slash means heaven. Under the heaven, if one has clothes to keep warm, food (through the mouth), and the field to sustain life with one's whole family, that's happiness! Happiness is nothing fancy. Happiness comes from the most essential aspects of life.

I painted this piece with an intention of sharing happiness and peace with the world in mind. May 2021 bring all of us a lot of happiness!
