At the Autumn Equinox, as with the spring, we take this moment of equal day and night to focus on a point of balance. In the mellowness of early autumn, we can quietly observe this brief stillness. There is a certain relief in letting go of the hectic growth of summer. With the slowing that autumn brings comes a certain restfulness and acceptance.

Ha Ha, I don’t think of Autumn as slowing down much, Barbara. On the contrary, with kids going back to school, football weekends, farmers in the fields harvesting, and early Christmas shopping (to name just a few), I think of this as a bustling time of year. Nevertheless, it’s my favorite time of year, so Happy Equinox!
Ha! I agree with Debbie. This time is busier for me dealing with raking up oak leaves and preparing for the winter ahead! Barbara Happy Equinox!!
Balance, restfulness, and acceptance! Yes please, sign me up.
