Cats & Birds
DECEMBER 15, 2008
We are just home from my first trip to Spain...
Such beauty and history,
so many stories and experiences to share...

In the amazing pools and gardens,
beneath soaring arches of the Alhambra, Grenada,
I found these two cats...
beneath soaring arches of the Alhambra, Grenada,
I found these two cats...
Be sure to look close to see the ever circling birds...
Those birds...
had the number for those cats...
had the number for those cats...
I finally figured out how to catch the birds in flight...
but could not capture the gymnastic leaps, twists,
and turns of the cats!!!

But in their hopeful stillness,
I did get their reflections and the moment
before flash movement,
that was ever fruitless!

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!

breathe in the cold air fire of the winter sun melts a frozen heart
