How Equinox Balances all parts of our selves

It's one of the two most important holy days, the other being Fall Equinox.

Look, if we take the time to think about our dark selves, the roots of our trees, how to nourish the roots, then we can expect great juicy buds, fragrant blossoms, and nutritious fruits for the light half of the year. If we don't take this time to balance, we plunge ahead into the summer time with too many "yes's" on our lips and too much sap in our brains. Then when Fall comes, our balance is more difficult. So it's time to fast, clean out our innards and our brains, and get ready for the sap rising.

If we balance in the Fall, get our bodies ready to hibernate and slow way down, prepare for the dark half of the year, we may not be quite as depressed over the winter. We have to take back our natural rythms as humans. This society we live in is without rythm, without connection to the seasons, the cycles, the changes ...but the changes happen whether we are connected to them or not.

So my muses tell me to take time at Equinox - get clear headed, clean in body and spirit. So when it's time to dance circles around the May Pole, I am ready for the buzz!

Happy Equinox!
