This year’s Vernal Equinox occurred at 9:57 AM, this morning. You wouldn’t think people really pay attention to this event, except maybe astronomers.

And us Iranians, of course. The vernal equinox is our new year, you see.

I’ve always felt kind of lucky – I get TWO new years; two chances at making resolutions [and breaking them…]; two occasions to pick up the pieces, as it were. It doesn’t always work, but the beauty is that the possibilities exist, and that’s really all one can ask for.

The point is have a Happy, hearty Nowruz, everyone! May your new year be filled with only the best.

Love from all of us at Tara Gallery.
