On March 20th, at 5:44 a.m. MDT, the Sun enters the cardinal fire-sign of Aries the Ram and the emerging season of spring begins. We experience a day of equal light and dark, a brief 24 hours of celestial balance and cosmic equilibrium. We are entering the season of increasing light, the season of planting and growth. It’s time to touch and till the soil, plan our gardens and gather our seeds. Spring Equinox heralds the beginning of our natural solar year, and it’s a time when we instinctively align with the energies of renewal and rebirth.
Spring here in the West End means baby lambs and calves, fresh green grass and budding lilacs. Farmers are burning their ditches and fields, smoky blue spires rise across the mesa as they prepare the land for irrigation. Bald eagles gather for migration north and roost in old piñon and cottonwood, hunt prairie dogs and snatch field mice in the open pastures below. The San Juans and La Sals are still covered with snow, glowing white the distance, laced with blue-grey rock and thick black forest. The skies are home to wispy cirrus and pouffy cumulus clouds, jet trails lay tracks and make enormous crosses in the atmosphere above. Everywhere there is new life.
Spring is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. May you discover the joy of rebirth and rewards of courage as you cultivate the best within and blaze fresh trails toward glittering, glimmering new horizons.

"Once more unto the breach, dear friends..."
On Thursday, March 19, Telluride's Palm Theatre proudly presents The Acting Company's and Minneapolis' Guthrie Theater's edgy co-production of Shakespeare's "Henry V."
In "Henry V," King Henry of England is no longer the petulant youth who frolicked boisterously with friends in "Henry IV. " Prince Hal has put down his toys and picked up the sword – although he is still young
restless, haughty and ambitious. When he inherits a troubled crown, the born-again Henry seeks to secure his position at home by diverting his country's attention abroad. His target is France, where he launches a hasty invasion to claim his right to a kingdom and the daughter of the King who insulted him with a gift of tennis balls and enforced leek eating.
