The Santa Rosa Labyrinth ~ Fifteen Years Old

MARCH 12, 2012

Fifteen years ago today
this path sprang from my open heart
and the compass and pencil
held in my hand…
Everything in my life changed
in that creative moment,
the course I was on,
the way I looked at myself and others…
And if I had it to do all over…
I would choose again, this life,
this joy, this beauty.
and love in all its many faces...

I would choose again this broken heart
to have loved and been loved,
so completely…
to know the space that opens before me,
around me, above me, and below me on this precious ground...

Right now…
I choose this next step forward
into this great unknown…
Picking up my pencil
again and again
in swirling, ever-intertwining circles
of words and images,
this song of all I hold dear
in the small of my hand,
in the step before me…

Happy Fifteenth Birth Day~
sweet labyrinth...

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!
