World Hole Day

Holes have been a part of our lives since life began, from humble cave dwellings Man (and women) have embraced these natural or man (or women) made orifices.

From gashes in the sides of hills to those plunging deep into mother earth no hole is the same, each one is individual and in my opinion a work of art, dark, moist and sometimes humid, holes can be glorious, holes can be scary too.

The Romans used a lot of holes, they joined them together to make aqueducts and for sanitary and unsanitary products.

Some of you live in big cities, daily you enter these cavities and enter transport via dark passages, emerging from another hole, perhaps as its Sunday you are travelling to a holy place to make yourself feel whole.

All creatures on earth and beyond have holes, we use them to shovel food inside ourselves, we use them to breathe, we expel our waste from them and of course we have a lot of sensual fun with them, often creating little babies that enter our world through a hole. When we die they chuck us in a hole.

All of you are using something with a hole in it, a wine bottle, a cup of coffee, tin of soda or even a ketchup bottle. You are alive as you breathe through one right now, you hear through a hole, maybe you are eating one right now, most of us have lived with or live with an a**hole.

We use and abuse holes, sometimes we worship them, but they are always there for us, we don’t often say thank you to these wonderful , so today is a celebration of all things with holes, today is World Hole Day.

Join me and celebrate the hole, on this day of the holes.
