A Door in Time
MARCH 11, 2008
**_One step,_**
**_This threshold crossed..._**
**_this place of opening_**
**_into memories_**
**_long forgotten,_**
**_brushed away with time,_**
**_the key_**
**_lost in folds of lush silk,_**
**_pressed deeply_**
**_into my heart_**
**_where I listen for footsteps_**
**_and remember..._**
**_Finding the_**
**_place of opening_**
**_I step through_**
**_and time no longer matters,_**
**_only the beat of desire_**
**_coming to life_**
**_in the cradle of the midnight sky,_**
**_as the sun marks,_**
**_over and over,_**
**_these passages in time taken,_**
**_finding the heart's desire_**
**_in this moment of_**
**_opening a door long closed..._**

twenty-seven turns around and around the sun the moon smiles as well
Labyrinths provide us with a path to practice change. Some labyrinths have withstood the passage of time for thousands of years. Others are here for just an afternoon, drawn in the sand at the edge of the ocean. Many modern labyrinths were meant to last for years, but because of unforeseen circumstances their time is shorter than intended. And they once again help us to practice letting go and giving thanks for the time they are with us. The Labyrinth of Life at the Sebastopol, California Teen Center reached such place of letting go and is at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another chapter that is yet unknown.
Sometimes... a labyrinth can take years to become a physical reality. In 2018 I met with my friend Deb, to discuss her desire to have a labyrinth on the beautiful land she lives on. Despite our plans and several meetings, listening to the land and finding the right spot, the labyrinth did not come to fruition. Fast-forward five years and in the blink of an eye... it happened!
