Equal light.
Equal dark.
A sun that rises due east....and sets due west. Precisely.

Equilibrium.
Equanimity.
Balance.

I wake - now - before the sun. I rest - long after its put itself to bed.
From here on - the days will be less. The nights will be more.

Today - there's symmetry.

I've struggled with how best to describe.
In word.
In feeling.
In image.

Somehow - these late season bloomers said it for me.
How they shimmer and shine in their own light. How they dance.

Yes...it's true.
Today is the first official day of autumn.
And the lingering light is like magic.
Holding on. Letting go.
Breathing.
