The Fourth Holy Night

DECEMBER 28, 2006

The fourth "Soul Quality" that Lynn Jericho invites us to contemplate is Nobility.
Lynn writes, "Tonight find your soul's nobility. What aspect of your being is so rich in talent that it declares you capable of providing superior benefit to others? Nobility of soul does not entitle you to benefits denied others. Where does your cup runneth over? Where do you offer drink to quench the thirst of others' souls?"
I write...
_I love to reframe,_
_to take any situation_
_and find new ways to weave the story,_
_finding the threads of energy_
_and putting them together_
_in new ways,_
_kind of like writing poetry,_
_which I need_
_like I need air and water..._
_I love to move energy,_
_arranging space and time_
_like plants in my garden,_
_like spices in the kitchen,_
_or the way the candle sits at our dinner table..._
_I love looking for opposites_
_and finding how they come together,_
_making something new of their polarities_
_which are the needed ingredients_
_for life beginning, forming,_
_coming together anew..._
_I love my heart beating_
_and seeing the beauty in all things,_
_especially in others,_
_and when I look in the mirror..._

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!
