Alex Champion's Hexagonal Rock Earthwork with 6 Obelisks - Second Visit
MAY 3, 2019
On May 3rd, Marilyn Larson and I returned to see the first pour of Alex Champion’s six obelisks for the Hexagonal Rock Earthwork that he is creating with the help of two amazing craftsmen.
Like a giant sarcophagus, each single structure weighs 900 pounds and is nine-feet in length! When all six are complete, they will be lowered into the placement holes that are three-feet deep and will be six-feet above ground.

It has been wonderful to talk with Alex about his ideas for this project…
… and watch them emerge…

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!
