Eighth Holy Night 2007-2008 ~ Gathering & Spreading
JANUARY 1, 2008
_This new year,_
_these new moments_
_where all possibilities gather_
_filling the heart_
_like stars in the sky_
_spreading forth_
_into the universe for us to drink_
_and fill our soul_
_in the quiet moments_
_found in opening_
_to life,_
_in the space between_
_breathing in,_
_and breathing out,_
_gathering in,_

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!
