"I'll admit that the solstice in June and December tend to turn my head more dramatically — the extremes always do.
But it’s the equinox I’m growing more and more fond of.
For one quiet moment in time this week, as the days are shrinking and the nights begin to grow, they met gracefully in the middle.
At 3:21 p.m. ET on Wednesday, the sun cast equal light and equal shadow over the earth, 12 hours each.
Give us equanimity in this mad and beautiful world.
Bring to us the quiet stillness of balance.
Show us the gift of both the darkness and the light.
Happy first week of autumn.
May the Spirit of God calm us and be our peace on this day of equilibrium."
-Emily Freeman
