Happy Groundhog Day! I like the idea, no doubt inspired by the movie, that it's a good holiday for a do-over. Give another go at a previous mistake. With tomorrow as Chinese New Year, another good re-starting point. Every day is a good day to gird one's loins and take another leap. Beginner mind. Ruler of the Universe*.
The space between and below harbors life.
We call it dark and look down on it.
We call it Mother, feminine
make it mysterious and hold it as separate from us.
It is the ground we stand on,
Open ourselves to it, and it is eternal.
Ground-Hog Day. Candlemas (February 2 nd), from the saying that the ground hog first appears from his hibernation on that day.
-Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, 1963, p. 420.

I love the idea of a "do-overs day"!
I love that film - but what a nightmare to have to begin over again in that way. Begin afresh, though - yes.
I'm quite prepared to gird my loins, but am not 100% sure of their location. Kidney area?
Happy GH Day to you too!
The space between has lots of lint.
We call it lint.
It is what we stand on.
Phi,
Oh, don't get me started on belly button lint:

Happy Year of the Rabbit!!
Did I give you this (o) last Groundhog Day? Deja vu.
Pacian,
Yeah, you did, but I can always use another one, thanks.
