so much in the gregorian calendar is debatable, why is the start of the year the first of january? does the word november not come from the number 9 and december the number 10 ? It’s sensitivity to natures calendar is scant, being seemingly content to be a mere division of earths spin time around the sun…. january 1 is indeed a celebratory day for many largely because this is what we have been given, what we’re used to…. but what if new years day synced with the rhythms of nature and say was placed at the start of spring when earth is pregnant with new life, giving birth to the first of many things, sometime in february or march, perhaps at spring solstice (autumn for our southern friends) …. now there’s a day for a celebration, a day to honour that unique moment when day and night are of equal duration, there’s no debate here about the power of this symbolic moment, the balance it promotes, the opposites coming together in harmony, all equal in the eyes of ‘god’, the light and the dark, the black and the white, i love it…. and so i have decided to return to fb live on the equinox, the 20th march next, a day to begin again and sing. My earlier transmissions were at irregular intervals. This time round i will transmit regularly starting next week on mon, wed, fri and sun at 8pm gmt and see how it goes, adjust days and times to suit you my audience. There will be some old songs sung in a new way and some new songs sung in an old way 🙂 i also plan to broadcast simultaneously to youtube, instagram and twitch
you are very welcome to join in next monday 20 march, the equinox, at 8pm gmt, on facebook live and other platforms
may your force be with you and it is so 🙂
