I am rarely up early, except for mornings we publish the Planet Waves subscriber issues. But Tuesday, I attempted to take Len’s advice to see the sunrise on or near the vernal equinox. I missed sunrise by about an hour and a half, but still caught beautiful morning light and got into a photo-taking groove for the first time in a couple months.<\/p>\n

The bridge I was on is old and precarious, and stepping on the railroad ties needs to be done with care — or, at least, the relaxed confidence of youth, as a guy in his late teens or early 20s demonstrated. It was only my second time attempting the old wood and steel, and I have yet to venture out to the end, where it looks like the ties are more deteriorated (or missing in spots). The center of the bridge, which is a swing drawbridge, is permanently swung perpendicular to the ends; there is no crossing to the other side by that route. One must turn back, find the parallel trail, and cross the water. <\/p>\n

It’s rather like the astrology now: with Mars and Mercury retrograde, Mercury heading into Pisces and Mars talking to Chiron there as well, we’re not quite crossing straight into the adventure of spring 2012. We’re being asked to turn back, turn in and negotiate the waters by a new means. Then, we can continue on to where we’re going. <\/p>\n
