The autumn equinox. Day and night stand equal. For one moment, light and dark are balanced. Then darkness begins its slow ascent.
Mark this turning. Not with elaborate ritual, necessarily, but with awareness. Step outside if you can. Notice the quality of light. Feel how the air has changed. Acknowledge that you stand at a pivot point in the year.
From here, the path leads toward winter. The days shorten. The nights lengthen. The world cools and quiets. Welcome what is coming. It has its own gifts to offer.
How will you mark this equinox?
