The Second Holy Night

DECEMBER 27, 2006

The second "Soul Quality" that Lynn Jericho invites us to contemplate is Generosity.
Building on last night's theme of receptivity, we are asked the
question: "What have you received in the last year that has
metamorphosed into something only you can give?"
I write...
_I have been given much_
_this past year..._
_Change has draped my shoulders_
_and the mists of time have come full circle,_
_grief, crushed like grapes,_
_loss, like emptying a vat of fine wine,_
_released into my fullness_
_even as my well runs dry,_
_only to be replenished_
_with the sounds of soul,_
_paint and pen_
_filling me with joy,_
_wonder, and curiosity_
_setting me free,_
_clothing me in the light_

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!
