Cosmic Catalogue: Turn of the season

 

No matter how cold the winter, spring always comes. While this may not be true in the North, it is in the Southern Hemisphere. Regardless of your location onthe globe, the ethos remains the same — that time is circular, rather than linear. The seasons turn. The tide comes in and it goes out. Fortunes rise and fall. There is a season for everything under the Sun.

Then there are times in life where it isn’t completely obvious which direction things are turning. It’s as if things are hanging in the balance.

This week is one of those times as the Libra Equinox arrives, where the days are about as long as the nights and the nights are about equal in duration.

For some of us, the light encroaches on the night. While for others, the dark creeps up on the days. In the natural world, it’s just the inevitable turn of the seasons, while in our internal worlds, it may feel like a bardo of sorts, a liminal and uncertain place, where the arrival of the next season of life awaits. This week, be sure to get your affairs in order to prepare for the next chapter.

Short poles

It never felt like this before. My chest was in the right position and wasn’t getting bounced backward every few turns. My right shoulder wasn’t getting jammed into itself with every pole plant, forcing my torso up and my entire body to stretch out.

Only three people have ever cut my hair: There was the older gentleman that my mother brought me to when I was young. Then there was the son of my dad’s barber, who cut my hair for decades. And finally, there’s the guy I’ve been going to for the last several years. I especially liked…
