Equinox – our point of balance

Both hemispheres have just passed through equinox. The north is sailing into spring, the south rolling into autumn. Major religious feasts follow this point – Passover for Jews, Easter for Christians.

But equinox, when length of day equals length of night, is also a point of balance. World food, world oil, world finance, are all in the balance too. We can go either way.

What the turning planet knows is a sort of controlled chaos. From the random events of weather, we get seasons. What the human race knows, on the point of decision, is freedom. Futures don’t always reflect pasts. The world pauses momentarily. We too take stock – and then we choose.
