Moving into September, we are anticipating the Autumnal Equinox. At the Equinoxes, the Earth pauses for a moment in perfect balance between day and night. When calling the Directions, we sometimes recognize North as the place between, signified by Mid-Winter (between one year and the the next) and Midnight (between one day and the next); however, Equinox can also remind us to pause a moment to appreciate the balance.
It can feel like our country and world are currently in a state of chaos; which makes it very difficult for us to find balance in life. Our personal lives can also become mired in the chaos, making it difficult to breathe and take a moment to rest. Sometimes the noise of everything going on in and around us, makes it very hard to let go of our burdens.
Please take a moment (or moments) in this month of Equinox to pause, breathe and appreciate that special time of balance. If you can only do this for a little while, that’s OK. You can recognize that moment, and hopefully repeat it, when the turmoil becomes overwhelming.
