A Spring Equinox Memory

The vernal equinox (which came at 7:44 this morning) is a powerful event for me, maybe the most powerful of the year, astrologically speaking. It's powerful because it's attached to a memory, a strange, sweet, strong memory. Care to hear a story?

My junior year of college, I spent spring break in Cancun with my boyfriend Rob. I was excited for the clear waters and the white sands, but as a religious studies major, I was extra excited because we were going to be there during the vernal equinox--"there" meaning at Chichen Itza, the astounding Mayan temple that's just a short bus ride inland from the beach parties of Cancun at spring break.
