Spring arrived on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, at 11:06 PM Eastern and 8:06 PM Pacific time in the Northern Hemisphere, marked by the Vernal (Spring) Equinox.
Noted by many cultures as New Year for thousands of years. Nurooz, which means new day, is celebrated in many parts of the world. Zoroastrians were one of the early cultures that started their year thus. It is a time of purification and setting one’s intention for a new start. Other civilizations, such as the Mayan, also celebrated the Spring Equinox for hundreds of years before the Spanish arrived. Even the western cultures celebrated New Year in the spring till Julius Caesar changed it to January in 45 B.C. Interesting how mankind feels the need to tie everything to himself. Even unchangeable nature’s circle of existence. It is said that "as the seasons form a great circle in their changing, so does the life of a person - from childhood to childhood." Since many of our leaders are acting dangerously childish, perhaps it is time for our younger generation to step up and save our world. So "Arise and start anew, for much awaits to be done. All things evolve from the creator, and all must revolve to complete the circle of life!" It is time to complete this circle peacefully. Despite all the tragedies in our world, I wish us all a better and Happy New Year! May it be a peaceful one! Amen!
