Hibernation, emergence and company
A groundhog burrows or hibernates
A sheltered animal can evoke a need for time away from demands. Consider whether your retreat felt like useful preparation or whether you wanted to stay out of sight because moving forward felt uncertain.
A groundhog emerges
Coming into view can capture readiness to use what you have learnt during a quieter period. Think about what you feel more able to approach now than you did before the pause.
Several groundhogs
Multiple animals can evoke opportunities or resources you had not considered. They may also bring shared growth into focus, particularly if you usually think of preparation as something you do by yourself.
