Feet...

My feet carried me so well...
this latest adventure into the land of Mexico...
Into airplanes, large and small...
this latest adventure into the land of Mexico...
Into airplanes, large and small...
where my feet dangled over spectacular views...
Into art museums...
full of incredible ancient wonders...
full of incredible ancient wonders...
through churches and courtyards...
through jungles in search of exotic butterflies...
to breakfasts that were soooo delicious...
as well as other feasts,
simple, but ever so rich with friends we hold so dear...
simple, but ever so rich with friends we hold so dear...
and fancy, with ingredients oh so fresh...
my feet ever kept time
to the music as we watched parades...

then stepped right in
to be carried away in a wave of people...
to be carried away in a wave of people...
my feet carried me upstairs...
and downstairs through light, shadow, and blossoms...
my feet even carried me into bright hammocks
so my toes could kiss the sky...
Yes... my feet carried me well...
I look forward to visiting you soon!

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!
