Spring Snow
MARCH 6, 2007
_Spring Snow_
_Pink snow_
_dusts my winter boots_
_falling gently,_
_spiraling down,_
_sheer crystals_
_of spring blossoms_
_kissing_
_my upturned face,_
_while plum trees_
_dance_
_over_
_labyrinthine path_
_growing green_
_as light cascades_
_through branches bare_
_seeking warmth,_
_seeking the center,_
_seeking that moment_
_of stillness_
_when the heart speaks_
_and we listen..._

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!
