9/22/10 - the equinox

I love the advent of longer nights, warmer, sweeter soups, the darkness of creativity and fulsome transformation. Everything changes when the nights get longer--seeds start their journeys toward new plants, changing their insides overwinter. Some animals make their babies, in dark, fusty holes in the earth. Insects, inside their wintery carapaces and wraps, rearrange themselves to become something new. And there are stars, stars everywhere. I love the seasons of change.
