_Hesperia..._
_Star of the West..._
_Sister of three,_
daughters of the Evening Star...
_Golden Apples are your gift..._
Your open womb births imagination...
and sweet longing
for life beautiful emerging...
for life beautiful emerging...
in amethyst nest of kissing stones,
kissing the earth,
touching this place of being
here,
now...
and dancing into life...
kissing the earth,
touching this place of being
here,
now...
and dancing into life...
_this moment of heart meeting heart..._

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!
