equinox





The first day of spring!

The vernal equinox. Young, youthful, fresh. New leaves beginning to unfurl. Bursting with life and lust and hope eternal. Every bird a song in its heart.

The name "equinox" is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because the night and day are approximately the same length.

Balanced. Poised between the long cold nights of winter and the languid, sultry days of summer.

I'm not sure if nature manifests itself in the mind, or the other way around. Perhaps, it's a balance, because when the two connect there's equilibrium. Some might call it peace.

Ahhh. Spring!
