Antiquing
JUNE 5, 2007
Isn't it wonderful that there is a verb like antiquing...
Spur of the moment this late morning, I went off with my friend Lynnette to look for some used furniture for her office...
Little did I know that I would find this lovely little green-crackled bookcase for my studio...
that perfectly holds the antique tool box
that my parents recently gave to me.
It not only will hold some of my art supplies and tools,
but is so beautiful to look at and touch,
the ancient lined and worn wood...

I wonder who traveled with this box...
and what there craft might have been...
Perhaps one of these days...
the box will tell me some of its stories...

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!
