“When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.”

new and magnificent beasts will arise from the muck. trust me on this one

The solar calendar marks a day (or solar term) in the spring called 啓蟄 keichitsu, literally "awakening of insects." It's when hibernating insects, frogs, snakes, lizards, and other creatures are supposed to wake up and come out of the ground.

In 2025, keichitsu will fall on March 5 (it's usually sometime around March 6). I don't want to miss it again next year, so I am reblogging this post five months in advance and then throwing it in my queue for good measure!

TLDR: Trust OP! New and magnificent beasts WILL arise from the muck! Sometime around March 6.
