SPRING
has sprung and the entire nature is unfolding the next cycle of
re-birth...flowers are blooming, trees are flowering, birds are singing, days
are getting slightly longer and longer, and the sun is getting shinier and
shiner. With sincere joy and gratitude we celebrate again the greening of the Earth,
welcoming beautiful beginnings. At this time of the year, I’m wishing each of you a wonderful season, trusting
that the sun would shine bright upon you!
“Spring
is the time of plans and projects.” (Lev Tolstoy)
SPRING EQUINOX: a short scientific briefing
“Spring Equinox” is an astronomical event, nearly noticed by everyone, when the day and night are almost of an equal length, marking the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere; this is commonly regarded as the instant of time when the plane (extended indefinitely in all directions) of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun.
This is one
of the four seasonal turning points, when the strength of the old goes into the
new as the power of life blossoms with grace while Nature springs again to LIFE. Enjoy!
