Mi Hijo ~ Mon Fils

OCTOBER 9, 2007

Eighteen years ago...
this sweet boy captured my heart...

Not having biological children of my own,
Orin became the son of my heart...

During all our travels to Mexico,
I began to call him "mi hijo"
which is Spanish for "my son."

And now... mi hijo has grown
into this fine and handsome young man...

and mi hijo...
has just moved to France...
So now...
mi hijo has become mon fils...
We gave him a going away party before he left...

with chocolate cake...

that had all the ingredients
for a good journey and new life...

and now...

we are off to visit him, and Paris, and Geneva, and Amsterdam, and Marseilles, and all the places in between...

I have to see where he works and is doing his doctorate research...

for it looks like something out of the movie Contact!!!

And I think...
he and I have to go shopping...

for his cupboards,
and bookshelves and walls...

are quite bare!!!!
So au revoir dear friends!!!
I will miss you so!
I know Bloglandia will be having a wonderful time while I'm away, so keep good care of each other, enjoy the bounty you all share, in so many different ways!!!

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!
