The Spring Equinox this year is highly unusual. In addition to the rarest solar eclipse for the last 334 years (and one that the UK will not see again until 2090), we have a supermoon - one that looks larger than usual because it is so close to the earth.
Solar eclipses have been viewed with apprehension in the past across many different cultures, but maybe we're best off regarding it as a great mystery, and just part of the magic of our wonderful universe.
This year in the Northern hemisphere spring seems to have been a long time coming, there has been little sun and the trees are still largely leafless.
Fortunately there are primroses to make us feel hopeful that it's not far off!
Spring always makes us feel more optimistic, and it certainly feels as if we need more hope in our world today. All around us we seem to be surrounded by crises of one kind or another, whether it's the rise of terrorism, the economic challenges we face, the environmental disasters which changing weather patterns are bringing, the ever-growing gap between rich and poor, the lack of trust, the fear, the loneliness and the depression that seem ever more prevalent.
Two years ago I published Wake Up and Hear the Thunder: Finding Hope in a Hopeless World. The crises are still pretty much the same, but the message of my book remains as valid as ever - we have to change our ways, we have to change ourselves!
The good news is that many people are!!
Buy the book and read about all the wonderful things that are happening all over the world. The shift in consciousness has begun.
