We hold these truths to be self-evident,
\n— from the Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sun enters Aries at about 1:15 am EDT on Tuesday. That is the Vernal Equinox. It is a big deal precisely because it happens every year, not in spite of the fact. There are other self-evident facts that not only coincide with but are also defined by an equinox event. All of those truths direct us to the concept of equality renewed, restored and re-affirmed. That’s the nature of life on Earth, for you and equally so for everybody else. It’s not staid repetition, it’s dynamic evolution, advancing the truth one step at a time to a greater level of awareness. It is also understandable one step at a time.<\/p>\n

The truth started about 4.5 billion years ago when something knocked a chunk off our planet, tilting the axis of Earth’s rotation. The chunk became the Moon which functioned\u00a0to stabilize that inclined rotation. Light and gravity combined with that inclination to create an engine circulating the winds and waters equally over the planet, making life possible.<\/p>\n

After life gained a foothold, the circulation propelled by Sun, Moon and Earth connected all living things. Somewhere in your body is a molecule of water once hosted by a dinosaur. Sometime today you will inhale molecules of gas that have been shared by billions in your lifetime. While the existence and motion of molecules is not self evident, the Sun’s apparent motion is plain to see. An equinox is central to the solar cycles that are equally available to everyone.<\/p>\n

The Sun’s apparent motion across the sky during the course of a day is the result of our planet’s rotation. The length of a day is a combined product of the tilted axis and the position in our orbit around the star at the center of our solar system. The more your part of Earth is tilted towards the light, the longer your day is. Being tilted away means fewer daylight hours. Twice a year, Earth’s axis of rotation is tilted neither away from nor towards the Sun and all of our planet’s surface is equally exposed for an equal amount of time. Not surprisingly, the Sun is directly over the equator at that time and that is self evident by where it rises and sets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No matter where you are on Earth, Sun rises due east and sets due west on the days just before, during and after an equinox. In the days that follow the Vernal Equinox, the place of rising and setting will move slowly north as the northern hemisphere leans into the light. On the other side of the year, after the Libra Equinox, we all see the Sun move slowly South on the horizon, gradually lengthening day in the southern hemisphere. This cyclical pattern back and forth across the horizon creates the seasons and its regular return to equality is not, as Rick Santorum is fond of saying, a “false theology,” it’s a self evident fact that you can verify with your own eyes if you bother to look for yourself. If you bother to think for yourself about what you are looking at when you witness the Sun, the rest of the truth will also be apparent. For humanity in general, that realization came in steps precisely because we are not encouraged to think for ourselves. It is ironic that one of the biggest steps was a document produced by a bunch of rich white guys, sons (and fathers) of the oppressors.<\/p>\n

When Thomas Jefferson and his cohorts authored the Declaration of Independence, they drew on thousands of years of historical steps. Many of them, being slave owners, had only the self interest of their clique in mind, but the truth once released is not confined as long as people look at what is self evident and think for themselves. Yet, time and time again it has been necessary to return, like an equinox, to the point of realization to keep the steps from going backward. With this coming Vernal Equinox, the stakes are higher than ever. It is not just the founding principles of a nation that are at stake, it is the survival of our planet and all of us equally as part of it.<\/p>\n

Please make time to watch the Sun rise and\/or go down on Monday, or Tuesday, or Wednesday next week. When you do so, please bring yourself present to all that it means, to all that it has ever meant and how many steps it took for you to be aware of that. Add to that awareness the certainty that we are at a point in the course of earthly events when it will soon be determined whether any planet which has so evolved can long endure. It is no coincidence that those who oppress you and your consciousness are the same who perpetuate war, slavery, ignorance and want. They are the same merchants of misery who poison the air, water and food while destabilizing the cycles that connect and nourish us all. They are tragic in that they deny their own equality; they are the most pitiful slaves of all. If you know such a powerful and unwitting slave, invite that person to watch the Vernal Equinox Sun on the horizon with you and offer that equal a handshake, or a hug, or a kiss. You might be the step they need to take to join the human race for real and ensure our mutual survival.<\/p>\n
