'Rikka' (立夏) is the beginning of summer in the traditional calendar. It's marked by 'frogs singing' (蛙始鳴 May 5th-9th), 'worms surfacing' (蚯蚓出 10th-14th), bamboo shoots sprouting (竹笋生 15th-20th), and more sweets than you can shake a stick at🙌 #立夏#rikka#summer
The trouble with this scenario is that you have to stop, but if you stop they all think you're the farmer bringing food, so they run towards and surround you, with much bleating and expectation.
Clear your mind for moment and understand this. We are altering the very #climate of the planet in a way that's dangerous for our own survival and the stability of our ecosystems. With only a few exceptions, our politicians are not only looking the other way but actively making the problem worse.
