Solidity

The Fifth Holy Night

DECEMBER 30, 2006

The fifth "Soul Quality" that Lynn Jericho invites us to contemplate is Solidity.
Lynn writes, "Tonight it is time to seek the mountain within our souls. Find the solidity of the soul - the sense of being, of existence, that we depend on. I don't think we can articulate the solidity of the soul but we can feel it. Seek the feeling of you that is solid. Feel it in your feet. Feel it in your breath. Feel it in your thoughts. The inner mountain of the soul is the part of your soul that is always in conversation with God...The solidity of the soul will not crumble or fail to exist. It is the part of you that always has been and always will be. It stands beside all the gods. It has not gender, nor dogma, nor attitude. It is always balanced and upright. It cannot be harmed and it does not perpetrate. It resists temptation and always forgives.
For your twelve minutes, simply feel your soul's solidity. Like the solidity of the planet supports your physical body, this solid core of your soul, supports your inner life."
No penned words tonight, instead I pick up my watercolors...

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!
