Happy Equinox all!!

Today is a glorious day (Warm, Sunny!!)
Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives. But these twelve are always disguised, and we never know which one is which until we've loved them, left them, or fought them.

Coming into the Light Half of the year here -- yesterday, actually, whoops!

Sun is out and snowdrops are opening. And there is a puppy running around outside my window playing tag with a cat.

Merry Equinox to everybody, in either direction!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.

And a slightly belated shout-out to Passover.

Happy Easter, Passover or Holi to those who keep them, and a joyful Spring or Autumn celebration to the rest of us!

And tonight is Yuri’s Night, a celebration in honour of spaceflight and exploration, named after Yuri Gagarin. Let us raise a glass to heroes!

Seconded! And to all the others, humans or not, that risked (and, sometimes, lost) their lives so humankind can boldly go...

A glad Solstice to all. Here in the South of the world the days get longer from now on, in the North shorter. In both cases, a turning point and a time to be glad and grateful for Earth, and Life, and Time and the cycle of seasons.
