Today is the spring equinox, the day exactly in between the winter and summer solstices. Winter solstice has the longest night, and summer solstice has the longest day. Today is the spring equinox, which is the day exactly between the solstices. It has equal amounts of darkness and light, and it’s the first day of the spring season. So today is full of the natural energies of freshness, renewal, and balance.
We ourselves are embodiments of nature. Humans have always celebrated and honored the rhythms of the earth. We feel the shift of seasons within our own psyches and bodies. We ARE life, and we feel the movement of life within us, as us. Life! Spring is the most exuberant, obvious season for the celebration of it. The green-ness grows! The buds come forth! The eggs hatch!
No matter what is going on in the world, life continues, always. Life, unstoppable LIFE, has existed long before even our planet did. It will continue in its eternal, expanding, joyful unfolding long after our beloved planet has passed. Not only does our planet have seasons, but so does the solar system, the cosmos. Nature – on scales smaller and larger than we can fathom. And we are PART OF IT! Alive with our loving, beating, precious hearts!
Life is now! Take a moment to notice the miraculousness of it! Life is now! Even in tax season. Even with the scare of an epidemic. There will always be something. And no matter what, YOUR exquisite moment of aliveness is in full bloom, right now.
I bloomin’ love you all! (literally, ever-bloomingly!)
