Fall Equinox ~ 2015
SEPTEMBER 23, 2015
On the afternoon
of this Fall Equinox...
of this Fall Equinox...
I had the privilege
of assisting a couple in Sebastopol, California
in laying out
and beginning to fill in the lines
of their new labyrinth with stone
in their backyard.

The blank canvas
of their backyard...
of their backyard...
is transforming into an oasis
of beauty
and a place of play for their young grandson.
It was a lovely way
to spend the afternoon on this day of balance
as we begin to move
into the shortening of days
and the changing of seasons.

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!
