I Love February
for Three Reasons:
(Or, "You And Your Brother Are Both Keepers!")
1. February is, of course, the month for Valentine's Day (February 14th), which is "a Christian feast day honoring one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine and ... has become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world"; it is the month for "Singles Awareness Day," or "Singles Appreciation Day" (February 15th), which is "an unofficial holiday celebrated by single people"; plus, it is the month for "Galentine's Day" (February 13th), which is a "day for women to celebrate their friendships with their lady friends." In addition to that, February is the start of the Lunar New Year; it is the month of Groundhog Day; it is the month of the Super Bowl; and it is the month of "One Billion Rising," which is "the biggest mass action to end violence against women in human history"; plus, it is the month-long observation of the following, which are listed in alphabetical order (by the way, I culled these from different websites, so this is not an all-inclusive list by any stretch of the imagination): American Heart Month (also known as National Heart Month, or National Heart Healthy Month), Black History Month (also known as African-American History Month), Body Awareness Month, Creative Romance Month, Date Your Mate Month, National Condom Month, National Mend a Broken Heart Month, National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month, National Weddings Month, and a lot more...
2. February is also the birth month for the two greatest Presidents in American history: George Washington (February 22, 1732) and Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809), which is why it is the month for Presidents' Day (which is observed on the third Monday of February) in the United States of America!
3. February is, additionally, the shortest month of the year! Plus, it is also my birth month. And that is very fitting, because I've always felt like an "underdog." So, having the shortest month as my birth month seems fitting because, as a "Pisces on The Aquarian Cusp," I'll just come from out of nowhere, with nothing in hand, and create a thought that brings about World Peace:
"You And Your Brother Are Both Keepers!"
God Does Not Throw Anyone Away...Ever! God—Literally—Cannot "Throw Us Away." And That Is Because We Are—Literally—All A Part Of God's Physical And Spiritual Body!
Thusly, We Are—Literally—All A Spiritual ("Energy") And Physical ("Matter") Part Of God. Therefore, God Loves All Of Us Because "God Is All of Us!"
And So, "We Are All A Part of God!"

My Poetic Notes:
The reason that I wrote this prose can be summed up with the following statement: "You And Your Brother Are Both Keepers!"
By the way, this was the first post which started my new "The Oneness Of God" Spiritual Practice.
And this prose was also published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this prose applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer." Plus, I feel that the message in this prose applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!
This prose was written in Portland, Oregon.
