Dreaming of Paris

OCTOBER 10, 2007

_Six,_
_then four_
_wander_
_the cobbled streets…_
_ _
_New and old_
_dusts_
_the edges of travel_
_and kiss our senses_
_with pure delight…_
_Island_
_water beckons…_
_Chocolate, poire,_
_framboise and cerise_
_pass our lips_
_as stone roses_
_of the Lady billow to life_
_and caper through_
_Grecian streets_
_where the Minotaur_
_races to catch the last train_
_spilling clothes and jewels_
_and glasses of cassis and red-wine_
_that seep into crevices_
_and fountain gardens_
_where our laughter_
_and delight forever_
_paints the Paris skyline_
_with gentle rain that melts_
_into sunshine_
_and midnight tears of passionate beauty._

The Retiring of a Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

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.

Making A Three Circuit Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

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!
