Winter keeps stopping and starting, the calendar keeps turning, and the snow and rain keep falling.  Looking out my window, I see the rosebushes budding and the weeds catching up with them.  Too overworked to find time for passions right now, the garden groans in sad neglect.

Daylight saving time meant we begin to wake in the dark and fumble for direction.  Three days will bring the vernal equinox, reminding us to center and celebrate the rebirth of ourselves and our surroundings.

My tomato plants huddle on the porch, waiting to be released into the soil with room to stretch out and smile.  Twenty plus calendar boxes await before we break out the Easter baskets of candy and treats and formally welcome our vacation.  This year, we will search in the snow for our golden eggs and hope for the sun to warm our souls.

The zucchini, the peppers and sunflowers must wait for now.  Work will need to be done to prepare for you.  For now, the rain mists down and fills us in preparation for what is sure to come.

Sometimes as I’m moving around in my day, an image gets stuck in my head that I can’t shake. Sometimes it conjures up a memory, a feeling, or provides an impulse to do something. Often, though, I just see something that I want to capture in my mind for no particular reason-it just speaks to me. I’d like to offer these images up for ‘thought contributions’-as a way to generate a community of ideas together.

This week’s Friday photo is all about the fall.  Some of us tiptoe out of summer, hoping to just hang on for one last barbeque, one last night on the patio.  Others jump into it head first, eager to reap the harvest of a summer of hard work and deliberate planning.

Either way, we have hit the equinox.  Day and night, perfectly divided, balanced, for a fragile moment in time before we slowly slide toward the winter solstice.

Are you ready?  Can you sit back and reap the harvest of what you’ve created for your life this year?  Or are you free falling, not knowing what you’re jumping into?
