Early autumn mornings, everyone asleep
The house is quiet and hushed
The grandfather clock
echoes soft rhythmic ticks
Dim light appears as the sun starts to rise
A cool breeze floats through an open window
Coffee brews and breakfast sizzles
Soft blankets and a purring cat,
Autumn has begunUnknown
The meaning of Equinox is ‘equal night,’ and it usually occurs between September 20th-22nd in the Northern Hemisphere. Day and Night are balanced, at approximately equal length everywhere on earth during the Autumn Equinox, and a special time to offer gratitude. It is also a day to celebrate the coming of an abundant harvest.
I like to integrate the four elements: water, earth, air and fire, as I connect to Mother Earth by outlining the course of the seasons, nature, harmony and good will.
Wishing you a beautiful Fall!
