Veils Thin...
OCTOBER 31, 2009
_Veils thin,_
_this day between days,_
_time between time..._
_Last days of Fall_
_clinging to that branch,_
_like the lone leaf_
_longing for sleep_
_beneath the rich soil_
_of life breathing deeply into Winter..._
_Turning,_
_reaching into dreamland_
_where memories_
_of love dance_
_with us today_
_breathe by_
_and kiss our brows,_
_caress our hearts,_
_and sigh into the wind_
_this song of living here on earth..._
_This veil thin..._

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!
