My Love

DECEMBER 14, 2012

For such sadness...
there is only my offering of love,
only my prayers that some small finger of light
gently touch what is so raw and hurting...

I ask that I have the courage
to open my heart
again,
and again, and again
and choose love,
always love...
that I let hate and anger go
over the cliff side into that vast ocean
that holds what I can not...
Let me choose love
and if I must have anger,
may it be fuel for the torch of my love
that burns so fierce and so bright
at the center,
at the very core
of my entire being...

My love and prayers to the families
and community of Newtown, Connecticut and to all of us who circle them.
If walking a labyrinth might ease your heart
you can find one near you via the [Worldwide Labyrinth Locator](http://labyrinthlocator.com/).

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!
