Equinox is a noun (origin 1350-1400 - Latin) that refers to the time when the center of the sun crosses the plane of the earth's equator, making night and day equal in length all over the earth. It is a precise moment in time common to all people on earth. This event occurs twice each year around March 20 and Sept 20. It marks the beginning of the seasons of Spring and Autumn.
Both Spring and Autumn are my favorite seasons of the year for similar, yet different reasons. They represent periods of seasonal change and teach us that change is something to embrace and cherish.
Spring brings renewal, refreshment of the spirit, rebirth, life and growth. For me, this is a time when I look forward to the possibilities that lie before me with hope and wonderment.
Autumn brings a time of reflection, learning and change. As the colors of the leaves change, this is when I pause and reflect on the year, learn from my mistakes and discover ways I can improve.
Both are times of growth and change to be appreciated and celebrated.
The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
