Equinox: spring forward to a new beginning

Updated: Apr 4

The middle path: equal parts a vibrant day and restful night. A nesting place to reside within the fluctuations of the mind.

Just as a pendulum swings on a trajectory of highs and lows, the mind's fluctuations travel along this path of different amplitudes throughout our days; yet, sometimes, there is a position where equilibrium is attained.


This equilibrium of a pendulum is when the force of gravity is equal and opposite to the tension force on the ball. When swung tenderly, this ball will rise and fall gracefully through optimal amplitudes, creating a wave, as if caressing the flow of time and space.

In this equilibrium space, we live in our internal equinox; a resident of the sun and moon, as they rise and fall in equal time, with perfect resonance. A joining of equality combined with perfect balance. Our internal pendulum ball is instantaneously suspended, a floating freedom of being carried and cuddled in space and time.


As the world we know during the equinox, Latin for equal nights, comes to a place of unison with the sun and the moon, this marvelous planet rejoices in suspension. A time when nature experiences subtly-stilled vibrations.


The tides rise, grand and lustrous, crashing onto the shore then later receding to their reverent retreat. The North and South poles experience sunlight simultaneously, as the Arctic and Antarctica are invited to their special birthday party, the sun lighting candles for each.


The earth nearly stands on a pedestal, as a ballerina in toe shoes slowly spinning with grace. Through this balance, internal growth is stimulated, and for a moment, awareness is suspended in space as time melts.


It is from this space of pause that creation is invisibly crafted, as the stimulus for change and growth is inevitable. The ballerina cannot sustain the upright spin forever, nor should they. The recalibration is complete.


 

And now comes spring, a time of awakening and renewal, lighting the way of new beginnings and fresh energy because:


"No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow."

-Proverb


 

Other forces and factors can now transpire from this suspended equilibrium; the pendulum must be swung, yet now with a directed purpose and desire. Through this time in unison and equality, change is initiated and passion illuminated.


Take advantage and embrace the equinox, value the natural magical wonder of our planet's reset, then open up to the vast creativity it offers. Celebrate as the finger of the universe taps our pendulum into perfect throbbing motion once more; resonant with each heartbeat.


Cheers!
