sereneI didn't know the first day of spring had shifted to the 20th instead of the 21st. I am so out of touch with the cosmos.
Anyway, in googling the first day of spring, I realized that today is also the anniversary of the day [Edit: in 1990] I was assaulted and my whole life changed. I'm sort of happy that it's an afterthought these days. It certainly is one of the most important events of my life in terms of its impact on who I am today, but it's not a daily menace, or even a vague obsession nowadays. I think about it in roughly the way I think about the fact that we were a Navy family, or that my parents divorced, or that my brothers and I became Christians when I was in my teens -- it's part of what shaped me, but not a part of my daily reality.
Anyway, happy spring, one day late!
