Our Labyrinth ~ From Above
FEBRUARY 16, 2009
Two weeks ago, before these oh so needed rains had begun to quench the thirst of our parched California, I climbed atop our roof to inspect our gutter covers in anticipation of the rain yet to come...
As I discovered my ability to scamper around at this height... I realized that I had a perfect view of our Santa Rosa Labyrinth...

and took advantage of my perch to snap a few pictures...
Amazing what you can see from a bird's eye view!!!!

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!
