Sun Lady has been hospitalized since Sunday. She had surgery. I visited her this morning. She's doing fine. But she says, "I can't go for a race now."
I said, "You've done some amazing things, like climbing Machu Picchu, Peru." She smiled.
Yesterday, a friend asked me what I thought about the earthworm as my totem.
I said, "No, not the earthworm. Too yucky."
Then my friend said, well, let's find out what an earthworm totem might mean.
As a totem the earthworm symbolizes regeneration, renewal, survival and rebirth. I said to myself, "I'm all for regeneration, renewal, survival and rebirth. Do I need to do anything to make the earthworm my totem?"

This reminds me of Thom Hartmann's depiction of Herr Mueller in The Prophet's Way, picking up earthworms off the ground and placing them gently off the path--in essence, saving their little lives. I used to do that when I was a child, walking to school, so that example was gratifying to me (I'd done something good!), but also something of a challenge (what do I do when I see a creature in trouble these days?)!
