Third Holy Night 2007 ~ Movement & Stillness
DECEMBER 27, 2007
_I step…_
_into the labyrinth_
_into the labyrinth_
_and as I begin to move…_
_Stillness drapes my shoulders,_
_quiets my mind,_
_and all the world is a holy place…_
_Stillness drapes my shoulders,_
_quiets my mind,_
_and all the world is a holy place…_
With each twist and turn,
with each curve that my body takes
with each curve that my body takes
this stillness moves down
into the souls of my feet,
into the souls of my feet,
kissing the path beneath…
Earth below me,
Earth below me,
sky above me,
are all the sounds I need…
This place of movement and stillness
I now find where ever I go…
This place of movement and stillness
I now find where ever I go…
wherever life takes me
into the labyrinth of life…
into the labyrinth of life…

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.

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!
