Fourth Holy Night 2007 ~ Vertical and Horizontal

DECEMBER 28, 2007

_Above me,_
_below me,_
_to the right of me_
_and to the left of me..._
_My heart,_
_the sacred center point of all crossing..._

_The root meaning of the world "sacred" is to consecrate, dedicate to a divinity, or revere as holy, secured against violations. Geometry means the measure of the earth. Thus sacred geometry is the consecrated, holy measuring of the earth, of architecture, and of our bodies; it is about right relationship~the golden mean. The golden mean is about parts being in relationship to each other and to the whole._

_When the source of all that is looked out in all directions..._

_intersecting and connecting with the mirror image of itself..._

a portal was opened,
revealing the shared space of self and other...

on the horizontal plane...

and on the vertical plane...

and through this opening, the vesica,
the almond shaped all seeing eye,
this mandorla of all new beginnings...
makes way for the Christ Consciousness
to emerge...

spirit into matter,
matter a vessel for spirit....

and beauty is born,
in all directions...

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!
