Equinox (20 March 2010)

It’s kind of funny to just sit and watch a sunset, which, perhaps surprisingly, I don’t often get a chance to do. This one, ten minutes ahead of sunset time, is mostly smoky purple and grayish white with a great yellow blaze, all of which will change. Might not be til twilight that I’ll really see what’s happening. This has been a first day of Spring that really lived up to the title. Maybe it’s my imagination, but with the vernal equinox the sun seemed poised in a sort of balance with the earth – sun and bright slate of the porch, sun and hot cat fur, sun and green paint of the wood chair absorbing the sun, sun and polished toasted oak leaves over the ground, sun from above, daffodils from below, blue sky and blue mountain. Sun and the night. Advantage sun.
