haiku my heart ~ Politics

OCTOBER 5, 2012

Life is not football,
there are no sides to conquer...
We are dark and light…

\*\*\*\*\*
I am watching, more than ever, how easily I get caught in fear, in anger and yes, even in hate. That is what I must conquer... letting myself get pulled to the right or to the left, forgetting this path beneath my feet, forgetting that all it would take is just one giant hiccup from this beautiful planet and it wouldn't matter what gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or political affiliation you might have... it wouldn't matter if you were rich or poor, your age, social status, who you had dinner with last night,
or if you even had dinner.
One giant hiccup
and "poof,"
none of this would matter...
For the record,
I really do enjoy a good football game...

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!
