The Spring Equinox is at 9:57 this morning in Seattle. In June, there will be some light in the sky almost 20 hours a day. For those of us who go to bed early, it's kind of sad listening to your neighbors frolicking around outside on sunny midsummer evenings.
I think the Equinox is the perfect time of year, when day and night are almost exactly the same length. Like living in the warm tropics, where equal light and dark seems to have mellowing effect on all your habits.
Equinox, equator, equilibrium, equation, etc. Good words that imply regulation and natural balance, whether you're teaching math, riding a horse, making a recipe, climbing a mountain or just living your life.
After such a hard winter across the country, welcome Spring! I think some pretty paintings are in order this morning.
