Haiku My Heart ~ Wild

NOVEMBER 30, 2018

the woods come inside
and wrap my home in the wild
can you hear the call

\*\*\*\*\*

Every year around Thanksgiving week, my dear friends and neighbors travel to their cabin in the woods in Oregon and bring me home a tree from the wild. They obtain permits to do this and it is always a mystery as to the size and personality of the tree that will live with me for the next few weeks…

This year’s tree is gorgeous. Nine feet tall and silver tipped. This one even has the fur of some critter that climbed among its branches and rubbed along the dry ones at the bottom! Nestled in my bay window I feel as if I have a house guest and treasure this time together, breathing deeply and dreaming of the wild forest.

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!
