2019 Spring Equinox

"At night make me one with the darkness

In the morning make me one with the light."

                          Wendell Berry

These stunningly beautiful photographs
were taken by Katie and Michael Stoyka
on their Panama venture last year at this time.

On March 20, 2019, the Spring Equinox (a.k.a. Vernal Equinox) occurs. It is  the special time of the year when the darkness and light are in perfect balance. 

For the Northern Hemisphere, the Spring Equinox is the moment when Winter ends and Spring begins. It also marks the astronomical first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. 

Earth based spiritual practices calls this time Eostar (pronounced O-STAR-ah). 
Out of the darkness of despair, out of the bleak dim days, the Goddess returns. With color, bright freshness, sweet fragrance and joy on her wings, this is the time to awaken and to celebrate life. 

The astrological event of full supermoon comes a mere four hours after this March equinox. The closest coincidence of the March equinox and full moon occurred on March 20, 2000.

As we each celebrate the light and the dark, harmony and balance, may we be filled with joy and
