Alex Champion's Hexagonal Rock Earthwork with 6 Obelisks - Seventh Visit
JULY 7, 2019
I arrived on July 7th to find that all six obelisks have had their first coat of final paint.
Two more coats to go and they will be ready to be set into the ground.

Here is the A-frame that Marc is building to hoist these 800-pound obelisks into the ground!
You can see the difference the finish work makes compared to the ruff concrete right out of the forms.
Alex feels that the obelisks have turned out even better than he ever expected!

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!
