Spring 2008

MARCH 20, 2008

Our meadow,
this first day of spring,
is a sea of budding blooms...

Coastal iris burst into glory...

Flags of joy unfurling in the mid-March sun...

Hidden in the folds of California native plants

are bright blues, yellows, and whites...

and this is only the beginning...

these blooms draw me ever inward...

Into the mystery...

of spring...

and the beauty of life renewing...

I have said this before, but my name and the spelling of my name, Lea, is from Old English and means meadow... To walk into this space that is coming to life in our front yard, is to walk into my name and it is divine and beautiful beyond anything I could have ever imagined...

Thank you so dear friends Lynnette and Michelle,
of Belle Feuille Garden Design,
for seeing into my heart's desire,
and bringing that desire to life...

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!
