Dreaming a Faerie Bower
FEBRUARY 16, 2007
Magic keeps arriving in my snail-mail box...
Purple tissue revealed
some of the basic ingredients
for our next gourd project with [Marilyn Radzat](http://www.gourdcollegeonline.com/MarilynRadzatWorkshop.html).
Tucked inside was this little fae,
sleeping until it is time to waken...
Here she is surrounded by some of the gems
that will adorn her bower...
waiting for the gift of creativity to sing out and call her awake...

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!
