This Duet

FEBRUARY 17, 2008

_I am myself,_
_moving_
_ever towards_
_the center_
_that is right here..._
_Time_
_envelopes us..._
_away,_
_together,_
_the way your hands move,_
_haunts my heart_
_and finds movement in my feet..._
_The shape of_
_your tears_
_find the river of my soul_
_and we are this room,_
_these duets_
_of love_
_in all stages of leaving_
_and coming together_
_for the last time_
_in this breath of beginning_
_again_
_and again..._
_This pearl in the palm of my hand_
_is our dance,_
_luminous light_
_found in the irritation_
_of being human,_
_this joy_
_of matter_
_opening_
_into the infinite_
_space of our bodies,_
_this duet_
_of love..._

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!
