Today
is Groundhog's Day and also a cross-quarter day. What is a
cross-quarter day? It's the mid way point of any season and was, like
the solstices and equinoxes, an important time for early
civilizations as these days served as another natural way to divide
up the year into periods of time, which became a matter of life and
death with the advent of large scale agriculture around 5000BC.
