autumn also has me reflecting on how i imagine a perfect, nonexistent version of myself rather than being present in who i actually am. "Eagle Poem" is like a clearing in the woods; thank you so much for sharing. an alignment list sounds excellent.
Yes I so run into this - to echo sena above - spending time projecting myself into the future, changed in "all the ways" I imagine would make me "perfect", - - what a distraction from what I need to be doing in the here and now. Which at this moment is to go inside because I am cold. 💙❤️
Let me share my very special equinox. I had applied for two free trees from the Arbor Day Foundation. Don't know where I saw the notice, probably the local newspaper. Today was local pick-up, staffed by the state ag extension workers. I think I was the first there so I had a lot of interaction time. They were so very enthusiastic. I got two native red cedars. I had to wait for my ride home so I got to watch people pick up their trees. Christmas on the Autumn Equinox. I have planted and watered my two new members of my garden family. And wrote in my thanks. Trees represent life an continuity to me.

I love the poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Thank you! It's a great time of year. As for rituals, messy or otherwise, the mid-autumn festival is nearly upon us out here in Asia: https://www.chinahighlights.com/festivals/mid-autumn-festival-date.htm
A great time for us moon gazers :)
