Today, the world stands in perfect harmony. Light and dark. Day and night. Past and future.
In Japan, this balance is honored as Shunbun no Hi (春分の日), the Vernal Equinox, a sacred moment when nature shifts, and we, too, are invited to pause, reflect, and realign.
A Season of Transition
Temples and shrines whisper with quiet prayers. Families visit ancestral graves, offering flowers and incense, honoring the threads of life that connect past and present. The air is scented with the promise of cherry blossoms, their delicate petals reminding us of life’s fleeting beauty.
And in this in-between space—where winter releases its hold and spring takes its first breath—we are reminded that change is not something to resist, but something to embrace.
Honoring Our Inner Seasons
Just as the earth finds equilibrium, so do we. The shifting of seasons is a mirror for the quiet transformations happening within us.
Where in your life are you feeling a shift?
Are you stepping into something new, or letting something go?
What parts of you are awakening, ready to bloom?
Today, I walk through Japan’s ancient landscapes and feel the balance within me—between action and stillness, past and future, seen and unseen. And I am reminded: this is the rhythm of life.
A Gentle Invitation
If you’re feeling the pull of transition, know that you don’t have to navigate it alone.
