This Red Thread...

OCTOBER 27, 2008

_Threads of red_
_weave my wrist_
_and settle,_
_into the palm of my hand..._
_Lifeline_
_to the women,_
_mothers daughters sisters_
_grandmothers aunties_
_friends,_
_bountiful wisdom_
_in space and time_
_forever_
_singing in my heart_
_as I sit in Fall,_
_finally…_
_the cool, foggy morning_
_wrapping around me…_
_remembering_
_this portal,_
_this path home_
_winding with this red thread_
_into life…_

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!
