The sun will travel directly above Earth's equator today at approximately 2:18 p.m. PDT, bringing with it the autumnal equinox and precisely 12 hours each of daylight and darkness.
The equinoxes are moments in time rather than whole days. Generally, they occur around the 22nd or 23rd of September and March each year.
And with each passing year, I feel I should pay closer attention to these moments in time, and to the traditions honoring them rooted in antiquity, but each year seems to require more frantic, hectic scurrying just to keep things running, and the traditions remain flutters in memory only.......
