Haiku My Heart ~ Green
NOVEMBER 18, 2016
**This luminous green**
**makes my heart sing with beauty...**
**Wild geese call. Listen.**
**makes my heart sing with beauty...**
**Wild geese call. Listen.**

With the first rains,
the moss comes back to life in my backyard labyrinth...
Every year it surprises me,
but I have never seen it so vibrant and alive
as it is this year.
Green is the color of the heart-chakra.
And every time I walk...
I soak it up and share it with you now.
With the first rains,
the moss comes back to life in my backyard labyrinth...
Every year it surprises me,
but I have never seen it so vibrant and alive
as it is this year.
Green is the color of the heart-chakra.
And every time I walk...
I soak it up and share it with you now.
As I was thinking on this haiku and listening for the third line,
a flock of geese flew over me,
on wing for their long migration.
How glad I was to listen to their call.

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!
