In my case, it’s not only sitting by a crackling fire and sipping wine, but more. Like these things that led up to today’s Autumnal Equinox . . .

Coming and Going
And, of course, it’s the point where we’re halfway from the winter solstice to its summer complement. Sort of like a coming and a going. Helping me think about recent events in my life and what’s coming down the road . . .
Turning Points
I like fresh starts. Unknown adventures. Turning points. And I’ve had my share.
Today is the winter solstice (for us Northern Hemispherians). A time of change. When the light advances. When the seasons turn.
Little Rituals
The image above is not of me but of a swimming friend named John. His life—at least the part I see at the pool—seems in balance. He starts with a ritual period of relaxation and meditation, and then he dives in to start his swimming workout. Slow and fast. Easy and hard. A miniature life in balance.
And so it is with me.
