Standing Stone!
MAY 12, 2007
This afternoon,
our neighbor Drew
maneuvered the massive Kansas Fence Post,
from Wheeler Zamaroni, into the ground for us...
What amazing neighbors we have!
Milt and I got to help Drew a little bit...
but the man in green did all the work with just a dolly,
moving 400 pounds of stone!

Our Schipperkee Nikki made sure it was in properly...
and Milt began tapping in the dirt
I used to fill in around the stone.

I rock the stone (pun intended!!!)
back and forth to make sure it sets properly

Isn't it just beautiful!
This project is bringing me so much joy...

In the mean time...

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!
