Today our planet has made another full circle around the sun and our day and night are equal length. It’s a public holiday in Japan. Following the Buddhist tradition, we clean graves and remember the dead today.
I have no grave to clean but I honor my father every year on the equinox, the anniversary of his death in 2005. Buddhists believe that we are reborn within seven years after our deaths, so maybe Dad’s spirit is making his way in this plane of existence once again. If so, the world is a better place now. He was a good person.
