Cardboard Lawn
FEBRUARY 2, 2007
Today, Michelle Bellefeuille and Lynnette Coster Scolari of Belle Feuille Garden Design put down and watered all the cardboard boxes in awaited anticipation of the coming mulch delivery...
It appears that Michelle and Lynnette have indeed become master "dumpster divers..."
Have you ever seen so many boxes?
We are so excited about this beginning transformation...
This picture is entitled, "Harris Lake."

There was an amazing find and blessing for me this afternoon...
While helping Michelle and Lynnette with the final pieces, I picked up a cardboard box
to find this caught between the folded boxes...

an origami crane... like the thousand that my dear friend Ruth and her husband made to assist in her healing from cancer... tucked away here, it was as if Ruth was saying hello and sending me her blessings for this project... a gift from the other side...

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!
