The equinox maybe it’s Time for some balance

 It’s The Equinox—Time to Find  Some Balance

Today is the “Autumnal” Equinox.   Autumnal—well that’s a fancy word for “fall and it’s the first day of fall where the amount of daylight and night hours is equal—hence the term equinox.  

A Day of Balance

Now it’s easy enough to understand the  concept of day and night being balanced and yet we often look at this day  within the context of the delays around it.  This means we think of the days (daylight) getting shorter.  We think of it getting. Nearer winter and sometimes especially for the summer lovers it seems like another dream passed by and so long till another chance will come.  So there is a gloom about the equinox for some.   On the other hand some folks love. Halloween, thanksgiving and Christmas.  Now the equinox  means these days are just over the horizon and  that is very uplifting.

The Balance. Between. Past and Future...

Since this is a day. When some folks see it as a beginning of a new holiday season and others see it as the  end of Summer—it’s not hard to ponder  how difficult it is sometimes to balance our own past and future.   Sometimes we.think of regrets  of things we might have done or things we did and that makes the past. Something heavy to carry around.  Sometimes we think of all the things we  need to do in the future that we cannot control and we let fear generate worry.  This fear and worry makes the future feel  heavy and so we have things. Pulling from behind and from ahead and neither are helping us balance.  

Well what if  we take regret and fear on one side and then instead of feeling out of balance either way we turn on the time space continuum  we remember with love all the fun memories we can.mustger and  appreciate all the growth and gifts a we have exzperienced and we balance out the regrets with that and then we work on the future by grabbing ahold of curious thought  and the promise of learning—then let’s add in all the love and friendship we will deliver and receive in the future.  —So there’s  your  balance—your equinox.... 

Or  let’s forget all that and  just think about today.... and today let’s respect the equinox in a manner that we can approach right now.

How about. Just for one day let’s  try to find one thing to appreciate in  an experience we  loath.  For example let’s feel the warmth in the soapy. Water we use to watch our greasy fry pan.  Let’s look for one positive  quality in  a person we despise ... there are plenty of politicians to choose from so pickopne.  Even one you loath is worth appreciating. For the fact they fight (fairly or not) to express their  values in a public way.  How many of us don’t allow others to know they have a kindred spirit because we  don’t satand up ands raises our hand?   

Reach Out to Balance. Yourself or someone

Finally if you feel you are tilting or you feel someone else is tilting —reach out....hold on...help them balance and they may be helping you.   This is the process of creating balance.   So on a day that symbolizes balance let’s try to create some..

Thank  you all for making this a good summer and let’s  all look forward to gobblins, gobblers, and elves-likeI said try to find  something to admire about politicians... have a great day/night
