Spring Equinox

Spring Equinox was last Saturday, when the sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night are nearly equal in all parts of the world. It also a day that felt like everything was right in the world as well.

I managed to leave the roof deck and welcomed spring last weekend with about 8 million of my fellow New Yorkers who were also outside -- walking, running, strolling, laying, cafe-ing, playing, and just enjoying.

There was something about seeing winter white legs and barren tree limbs in the bright sunshine that held the promise of the season ahead.

A friend in the Bay Area once mentioned something about the 'monotony of the California sun.' In Southern California, there's an ad agency called "72 and Sunny", which also reflects the temperate environment. Well, I'm not a cold weather person whatsoever, so I handled the monotony just fine thank you, though am truly enjoying the feeling of spring, and rebirth, happening right now.

There's such magic and promise in beginnings.

ps. Remember the Brooklyn Bridge Park -- the construction site on the waterfront I never thought would actually be finished. Amazingly, the first part of the park is actually opening today! The patch of green nearest to the Brooklyn Bridge has its official ribbon cutting this morning. The site right below my apartment building still looks like it has some work to finish but wonderful to see rebirth happening on the waterfront as well.
