SomePinkFlowers For You

NOVEMBER 4, 2007

I'm not even home a week,
and I'm leaving again...
This time for the 8th annual
International Labyrinth Society Gathering
in Kansas...
So, I will share more of my travels
when I return after the 12th of November...
My sweet blogging friend,
**[SomePinkFlowers](http://somepinkflowers.typepad.com/)**,
asked me to bring her back some pink flowers from Paris
and where ever else I could find them,
St. Genis Pouilly, Provence, Amsterdam,
in the courtyard of museums,
cemeteries,
flower and fruit stands,
on hanging baskets over canals,
as they are rare to find in the Fall...
And... this week
her heart is hurting at the loss of precious trees
in her neighborhood...
So here they are,
for SomePinkFlowersBonnieBee,
and for all of you...
Enjoy...
Can you smell their sweet fragrance???
These flowers
blooming
radiance
from far, far away...
Where history
roots
in stone walls
and winding trails,
where bones
and flesh
are reborn
in morning dew
and the canals
that line the streets
that draw me in
and down
and around into memories
oh not so old...
Petals fall...
and the seasons
change
and I remember holding you
full in my arms
breathing in the scent
of your entire being...
Oh sweet flower,
bud of my desire,
unfolding in beauty
before me...

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!
