Spring Equinox
I thought to stand upon the Hermit’s hill,
Hold high the beacon
And o’er light the path below.
Instead, I am the Hermit’s star,
The light within the lamp,
Suspended from th’ Eternal’s hands.

Welcome to the spring equinox! The equinox marks the beginning of spring and the end of winter, bringing with it the energies of balance, (day and night are about even), renewal, rebirth, and the awakening of new life. This is a very sweet time when we can take a moment to evaluate, or reevaluate, the projects or goals we set as we lit our candles at the winter solstice.
While I’m not particularly a fan of creating a step-by-step plan to accomplish a goal, it is important to have an idea of how you will successfully complete a project or reach a stated goal. So, how do we get from point A to point B?
In thinking about this process, I am reminded of conversation I had with a therapist friend of mine a very long time ago (1974). He asked me how I would go about plotting a course that would take a plane from San Francisco to New York.
I replied that I would determine the latitude and longitude of San Francisco and of New York, then draw a line from one point to the other on a map. I noted that, although it looked like a straight line, it most likely was a curved one, since the earth is not flat like the map.
He agreed with me, and then went on to explain exactly how the plane actually flew from point A to point B. Every 5 minutes the navigator would take a sighting on the end point (New York) and tell the pilot how much correction had to be made, and in which direction.
I started to laugh! You actually fly a zig-zag course across the states? “Yes!”, he said. They needed to take into account the winds and currents, the actual speed of the plane, etc., each time they flew.
I asked if boats and ships did the same thing on the ocean. “Yes!” Once again, there must be an accurate replotting of the course to account for currents and winds encountered in real time.
So this month, take advantage of the energies available with the spring equinox and the last month of lent. Take a bit of time to check if you are “on course,” so to speak, to accomplishing your goal. Do you need to tweak your direction or process here and there to continue to move forward to successfully complete your goal or project? Very often the goals we set for ourselves in December are generalized (I want to learn to love better, or forgive more completely). This time of the equinox is a good time to redefine a generalized goal into something more defined or more specific, and therefore easier to recognized when completed.
As each of us is learning to navigate the challenges of transforming the principles of fifth dimension consciousness so we can continue to interface with a third dimension world in transition, we are well served to take time during this equinox to find balance and renewal in our personal, mental, emotional and spiritual lives.
Happy Equinox!
