Haiku My Heart ~ Song of Light

JUNE 28, 2013

Song becomes this light,
time escapes these bars in flight,
sing these years so bright…

\*\*\*\*\*

I have had this Victorian bird cage
since I was a teenager.

We found it in one of the beautiful old houses
torn down to make way for Highway 101
that replaced the Old Redwood Highway outside
of Geyserville, California in the late 60's early 70's.

This past week,
I had the idea to string it up with tiny LED lights,
and I must say...
it brings me much delight
to see something so old
transformed into something so new
and bright...

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!
