This is my offering for this tenth day of October
for Rebecca's '[La Calaca love](http://corazon.typepad.com/recuerda_mi_corazon)'

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera visited my home town of Santa Rosa, CA and toured the home and gardens of Luther Burbank after his death in 1926. Frida did this painting in 1931. I have been fascinated by this portrait since seeing the original at one of the first US showings of Kahlo's art at a show at Fort Mason in San Franciso in 1986. I created this one word, building on the next word, description/poem for a talk that I gave in 2002.

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!
