fall-equinox

Dear RBN Friends,
The Fall Equinox is here, marking another milestone in our celestial cycle. Equal parts night and day. The Sun rising directly east and setting directly west. The Lakefront is the best place to welcome the Sunrise, and Horner Park hill not a bad place to watch it set. Today it will be cloudy and windy, but above the clouds the movement of the Sun goes on. However you mark this day, know that you are linked to billions on earth who recognize it as a unifying moment.

I want to propose the following days for Stewardship along the River. 
Saturday Oct 2, 10-1:00
Sunday, Oct 17, 12:00 – 2:00
Saturday, November 13, 10 – 1:00
Meet down at Berteau Street and the river!

Be well, 
Pete

Below are previous messagesRiverbank Workday this morning, Sat, Aug 21st 8-10 at Berteau, the east side of the river.
 
Above is an illustration to show how many different paths a river has taken over many many years. Meandering is in a river’s nature. Faster water flow on the outside of a curve causes erosion, slower water on the inside of the curve, deposition, meandering and pinching off horseshoe lakes.  This pattern can be seen from the air or land in every floodplain for natural rivers.  The Chicago river used to do this before it was straightened.  But its not in its nature to go in a straight line.
