The Autumn Equinox

Autumn Equinox

There are two equinoxes every year - in September and march. Its when the sun shines on the equator and the length of day and night is pretty much equal. That's why its called an equinox because its derived from the Latin meaning for 'equal night'.  The September equinox occurs the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator which invisible line in the sky above the earths equator. Right now in the Northern Hemisphere the sun is rising later and nightfall is coming sooner, our days are getting shorter and the leaves are going to start falling off the treas as autumn slips into season , creating a beautiful landscape of orange, yellow and red. 

 The autumn equinox signals the need to balance light and darkness within us. Buddhist 'Gary Thorp' in the book ' Caught in the fading light' teaches a wonderful story about accepting all situations where we are left in the dark without answers. 

"Once, when the Zen master Tokusan was still a student, he visited his teacher, Ryutan, just before sundown. They sat on the floor of Ryutan's hut, casually drinking tea and discussing Zen until deep into the night. At last, Ryutan said, 'Maybe it's about time you went home.' Tokusan bowed to his teacher and walked to the door. 'It's completely dark outside,' he said. Ryutan lit the lantern and said, 'Why not take this?' Just as Tokusan was about to take the lamp from his teacher's hands, Ryutan blew out the flame. Tokusan suddenly knew everything there was to know."

Thorp comments:   "Sometimes there is no remedy for our situation than to begin from a point of absolute darkness. Turning off a television set and extinguishing a lantern have certain similarities; they are both abrupt and transition making, and can leave us in a different world. In darkness, we are always on our own."

Osmosis! 

 Not quite psytrance i know, but these guys are wonderfull! In 2004, when the big techno nights like Atomic jam, House of God, Inukshuk and THC were no were to be seen a group of good friends thought '' If no-one else is going to put on a night, maybe we should''. That's how the amazing Osmosis started. A little techno night showcasing local talent and a real passion for techno. This night is ideal to keep you stomping in between other nights and they have a wonderful following and a real nice family vibe! They are celebrating there 10th year running on the 17th of October. Its going to be a blast!
