Are we destined to destroy this place that we call home, planet Earth? I can’t believe that that’s our destiny. It is not our destiny. But we have to awaken to the moral duty that we have to do the right thing, and get out of this silly political game playing about it. This is about survival.
–Al Gore, from his recent 60 Minutes interview

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it on this day.
Today being the “first Sunday after the first fourteenth day of the moon (the Paschal Full Moon) that is on or after the ecclesiastical vernal equinox.”
As they say in the canon, a ‘movable feast.’
Spring. Sprang. Sprung. And the Celtic Mid-Spring, the Astronomical beginning of Spring and for you Neos our there, Ostara too.
Susan is there with the news before me:
Happy Vernal Equinox which began last night, actually, when it was March 20 at 5:38 Universal Time.
[update 3/24] Looks like I forgot نوروز Norooz, the Persian New Year, which is tied to the Vernal Equinox as well.
