Jumping For Life
JANUARY 13, 2009
For a few months now...
I've had the urge to jump...
I've always been one to jump _into_ life,
give me something new to tackle,
something I'm NOT supposed to do,
or be able to do,
something that everyone around me says,
"why, you can't do that!"
Just watch me!!!!

But lately... that little voice has been saying...

"You need to add some cardio to your life Lea...
you've been weight training for two years now,
walking almost everyday...
it is time...
time to jump **_for_** life!!!"
So I listened...
and I'm jumping,
jumping in 30 second intervals as fast as I can...
then huffing and puffing around the yard in between
in record breaking warm weather for January...
With new shoes to support my joints,
I'm tapping back into this body-memory from my youth
when we jumped for hours, for days, every spare moment
jumped in fancy steps and rhymes...
I'm making new ones now...
I wonder...
if my shadow took over and jumped for me...
would that count???

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!
