One global common moment celebrating life
with dedication of heart and mind to think and act as responsible Earth Trustees. We are one human family and have only one Earth.
The Peace Bell at the United Nations in New
York will ring at 1:48 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time -- the beginning of Spring in the Northern
Hemisphere and the beginning of Fall in the Southern Hemisphere. At the same moment (6:48 a.m., March 20, in Austria; 6:28 in New

all participate. The Equinox takes place at 5:48 Universal
