The Lake of Glass

JUNE 1, 2011

_Sitting_
_beside the lake of glass,_
_reflecting that June 2nd_
_blue sky…_
_Sharing the cracks in our hearts_
_where we opened_
_to the unknown…_
_Letting each other_
_in, to the joy_
_of being_
_six and seven_
_thinking then_
_it was twelve…_
_Stepping together_
_into life_
_for three times seven_
_molding heart,_
_body and soul,_
_form shaping the formless_
_in the way_
_your intense_
_being melded with my_
_fierce tenacity_
_for plunges_
_down steep ravines_
_and pathways in the sky…_
_mirrored in the largeness of_
_your beautiful heart_
_that holds me still…_

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!
