the yarn of equinox

Equinox is when the sun sets behind the power plant.

Equinox is when I decide to try something new. I read The Friday Night Knitting Club, buy needles and yarn on a whim and arm myself with YouTube knowledge on how to cast on.

There are days, even after such a winter of horrors, that I feel my strength and joy return - more genuine for being so harshly tested. The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the heart. I'm sure there are still anxiety attacks on the horizon but I can face them and live. So I go out and buy yarn.

Equinox is when hope returns. Earthy green, hearty and healthy like my yarn. Welcome home.
