Creative Labyrinths

Earth Dreams

FEBRUARY 11, 2009

Lots of dreams last night...
And lots of earth...
moving earth,
rich dark soil,
shovel after shovel,
truck load after truck load...
I find in my dream that our entire front yard
has been covered in earth,
no plants show,
just smooth, soft, crumbled earth...
I awake to find our yard still a verdant glory...

with diamonds of rain lacing each branch...

set on fire in the morning sun peaking through the clouds
between torrential downpours so welcomed...

And instead of a bare tree filled with more earth,

I find plum blossoms...

and a doorway from the dark into the light of day...

The Retiring of a Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • August 5, 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 • August 5, 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!
