Blossoms & My Mother
FEBRUARY 23, 2008
Mom...
These blossoms are for you...
on this gray, gray day...
These blossoms are for you...
on this gray, gray day...
Captured when a bit of blue slipped from the sky
in showers of liquid sunshine...
in showers of liquid sunshine...
Ice melting... like the day the Ice Queen heard
the sound she'd long forgotten...
The giggles and laughter of a baby...
the sound she'd long forgotten...
The giggles and laughter of a baby...
deep within the green, green, moist forest...
celebrating the blossoming of spring and magic returned...
and celebrating you...
and celebrating you...
yes...
celebrating all that you are...
and the wonder and beauty you have gifted us with...
celebrating all that you are...

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!
