Spring Equinox: Embracing the Balance
As the Earth tilts once more toward the sun, the Spring Equinox arrives, ushering in a moment of balance — a quiet dance between light and shadow.
This equinox, like its winter counterpart, holds within it a poetry of contrasts: warmth and coolness, day and night, growth and rest. The moments of perfect equilibrium when day and night are equal are a reminder that even in the most fleeting moments, balance can be found.
The equinox carries with it the spirit of both apricity and umbrosity, each playing its part in the intricate waltz of seasons. Apricity, the warm embrace of the sun, begins to stretch longer across the sky, bringing us the promise of new beginnings. As the light gently nudges away the darkness, it offers us a quiet reassurance. The warmth we’ve longed for, even in the coldest months, returns slowly but steadily.
Yet, alongside this growing light, there is umbrosity, still lingering in the shadows. As the light pushes forward, there are still pockets of darkness, hiding beneath trees or spreading across the earth. Umbrosity reminds us that growth is never linear. In the winter, the roots of plants remain quiet darkness before they emerges into the sun. Our own journeys move through moments of shadow before we come fully into the light
