A Sunday Through The Looking Glass

JULY 30, 2007

What an amazing, magical Sunday...
[Ulla](http://ullam.typepad.com/) and her daughter Rowan picked me up and whisked me away to a place that was indeed... way beyond the Looking Glass...

A group of blogging women, artists _extroidinaire_, all gathered at the beautiful home of [Lauren](http://alicelands.typepad.com/)...

and pure delight ensued... conversations, laughter, sharing of ideas and creativity and a gifting of gifts and heart that was moving and precious...

So many topics were discussed in all directions... new friendships made... older connections renewed, and new connections made of those not even physically there... like Shelly who will hopefully read this and discover how loved you are, finding that there is a group of us who consider you a kindred spirit!!!!

It was quite profound to have all these "urls of cyberspace" all in one place, real, tangible, three-dimensional... able to respond to you in the exact moment...

I searched for a poem to capture this essence, this feeling, and these were the words that came to me in a quiet moment when I slipped down the hall to write...

A Sunday...
where magic
comes
to rest in lace and antiques,
in color and grace...
where laughter
dances and bubbles
through rooms
and halls
of beauty...
where friendships
feast on
a love of sharing
passion
found in the solitude
of creating,
where a simple pulse
of current
takes form...
spirit into matter,
this gift of word and image...

Thank you Lauren and Callen, Corey, Mary, Nicol, Donna, Sharon, and my dear Ulla (who is so always full of surprises...) and Rowan for such an amazing and magical day through the looking glass... and thank you each, for the beauty, joy, and laughter that you bring into form, and into the world...

The Retiring of a Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

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.

Making A Three Circuit Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

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!
