I was wondering about the “vernal” in the Vernal Equinox (today). So I looked it up. It’s from Latin: of or pertaining to spring. Also used for springlike, fresh, young, youthful.
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 . . .
