Happy Leap Day

February 29, 2012
Jim Naughton

February 29 is an extra day in the calendar that comes around once every four years to fix the problem of 365 days not being quite enough. People born on this day can celebrate their birthday today! In paraphrase of Mary Oliver:

What are you doing with your one wild and precious day?

Um, ... Ann? Leap Day only comes around once every FOUR years ... that's what makes it so fun!

And to answer your question: Having fun singing in the rain!

Thanks Lauren - one should not write late at night! I have a friend whose birthday is today, too. (Ann)

The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition. The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity. Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.

The opinions expressed at the Café are those of individual contributors, and, unless otherwise noted, should not be interpreted as official statements of a parish, diocese or other organization. The art and articles that appear here remain the property of their creators.
