Random Acts of Kindness

NOVEMBER 16, 2011

While working at home today...
I came down the front stairs
to find this beautiful basket
of Fall bounty...

just waiting for me.
No card, no name,
just round pumpkins
of every color imaginable,
and fresh apples,
punctuated by stalks of corn...
All adding to the
cascade of pumpkins
that now adorn my stairs
for Halloween and Thanksgiving,
magically transforming in a few weeks
for the Christmas Holidays...

I think I know who it was though...
my muse down the street
whom I've never met,
but has inspired me to follow her lead
of beauty each Fall and Winter season...

For she did however, leave a clue...
one lone strand from the majestic Maytan Tree
that graces her front yard...

What heart-felt kindness this is...

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!
