Vernal Equinox

We are now in the balance of light and dark.  The days and nights are essentially the same length.  Spring brings new, bright energy as the life force quickens in plant roots and stems, and animals make their move to new seasonal homes.  We humans are not exempt from being influenced by this life force energy.  We are liberated from our indoor environments, and we soak up the sun on our faces.  Spring brings a great opportunity to get a fresh perspective on our life and its direction.  We can dust off the cobwebs and shake off the doldrums of winter.  What is it that you are looking forward to?  This is a great time to take stock and reassess your best hopes and dreams.  It's a good time to take next steps toward our most joyous and satisfying form of living on this planet.  These are my hopes for myself and for all of us as we watch Spring gently unfold, and as we open to a world of new beginnings.
"The same stream of life that runs through the world runs through my veins night and day and dances in rhythmic measures.  It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of earth into the numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of flowers."
