Winter Solstice Planting

DECEMBER 22, 2007

_What seeds_
_are you planting_
_this shortest day_
_of the year?_

_When all life_
_sleeps deep_
_beneath the_
_Winter night blanket_
_of dark velvet,_
_where a tiny spark,_
_like stars in the vast sky,_
_ignites,_
_cradled tight_
_within the earth_
_and dreams of reaching_
_the light of day,_
_finding_
_the path back_
_into world..._
_Singing the joys_
_of Spring, Summer,_
_Fall, and of the blessings of Winter..._

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!
