Equinox -balance and stillness

I always think the equinoxes are a time to balance - take a breath - pause and take in the scenery before the wheel plunges on with its relentless forward motion. There always seems so much to do around this time - the sap is rising in us and everything around us, the decks need cleared, the seeds planted, houses spring cleaned.



I have only barely paused long enough this year to acknowledge that searching for a brief moment of stillness is a worthwhile goal. Today I didn't even stop long enough for twenty minutes of being time --much too busy being a human-doing.
