During these days of the Equinox, indigenous peoples around the world mark the beginning of spring with special feasts, songs, rituals, and prayers. Distracted by virtual realities and modern electronic sensibilities, most of us forget that our planet mystically spins during this month of March, for a single day, in perfect balance with the sun. As the earth’s Northern hemisphere begins to tilt toward the sun, life begins anew. Forest life begins to stir, winged ones arrive, daffodils burst through melting snow. Trees bud, seeds sprout. The hours of daylight slowly begin to lengthen.
