Spring Growth & Renewal

I feel like we’ve had six months of winter here in Boston.

I spent a week in the Bay Area in late January, and it almost made it worse to come back to a place where nothing feels alive—stark trees, grey skies, sheets of ice on every walkway.

My brother described his backyard as a bobsled run. Suffice it to say, I’m ready for spring.

The fact that it’s just around the corner gives me a chance to embrace this last month of winter—skiing, snowshoeing, sleeping in, and taking a pause before the Yang energy picks up next month.

The Spring Equinox falls on March 20 this year. The Equinox is all about balance: equal hours of night and day, and a seasonal shift that signals the end of winter and the start of spring.
