But I wonder, do you all know this? That the storytelling is that on the equinox, it's equal day, equal night.
And I was doing some research today, sort of interested in this idea because here's the framework with which I'll offer this.
It's the obvious point of connection around the theme of the equinox for me is this theme or this topic of equanimity.
It feels like if we want to sort of find a way into our lived human experience that aligns with the thematic nature of the season, equinox is a great place to begin.
But it's really interesting when you recognize that the way that the equinox works is not actually our experience of it per se.
That has led to the familiar explanation on this day, everyone on Earth receives exactly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness.
Because the sun has an apparent width in our sky, measuring from its edge rather than its center adds a little daylight at both ends of the day.
Earth's atmosphere bends light passing through it, and that bending is strongest near the horizons, where sunlight travels through the greatest thickness of air before reaching our eyes.
The effect lifts the sun image by slightly more than the width of the disk itself.
