The equinox is a time to reflect on balance, not one that is rigid and unmoving but one that is dynamic, ever-changing and full of life. The light of the day and the dark of the night do not work in opposition to one another. Rather, one fluidly becomes the other and it is in those liminal spaces of twilight and dawn when the gates open to what has not yet been imagined.
