Happy Equinox, everyone!
The Equinox reminds us that balance is a crossing, not a place where life stays.
At the Autumn Equinox
For one fleeting moment,
the Earth seems to hold
light and darkness in almost equal measure.
Then it keeps moving.
Perhaps there is wisdom in that.
Balance was never meant
to freeze us in place.
Living things balance through movement,
adjustment, release, and return.
And perhaps autumn asks something deeper
than what we are ready to let go.
It asks what deserves to come with us.
Which love has grown stronger?
Which truth survived the difficult season?
Which dream still has roots beneath the soil?
As we cross this ancient threshold
between light and darkness,
perhaps we can leave some things behind.
And carry the essential things forward.
We don't only choose what to release.
We choose what deserves to remain.
Because every season of letting go
is also a season of choosing what remains.
