Raining Buckets...
MAY 3, 2009
It's raining...
and raining buckets, or birdbaths, full of rain...
one of the biggest storms all winter...
but wait it is Spring,
at least it was last week!!!
A few brave souls came out to walk at one
for the Worldwide Labyrinth Day on Saturday...

A few brave souls came out to walk at one
for the Worldwide Labyrinth Day on Saturday...
finding themselves in the twists and turns...
following the curve of the earth...
then out into the wonder of the day,
watered like a new sprout ready to grow...
And today...
we had to cancel the rope labyrinth walk at Dragonfly Farms as everyone would be swimming the labyrinth rather than walking it... I know some of you would prefer this!!!
So my rope is packed up and ready to go for another day when there is a little more sun...
and me... I'm still in my pj's
ready to curl up with a good book...
with a day of no plans before me...
ahhhh... how I've come to love
the unexpected turns in the path...

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!
