A Faerie Floor
FEBRUARY 25, 2007
I thought our new faerie house,
that Lucille of [Forest Whimsy](http://forestwhimsy.net/) made,
might need a rug,
to go under the cozy bed that Lynnette gave me...
I love this view...

I love this view...
It was Ulla who suggested
that I might want to mosaic the floor...
But of course!
With all the tiles,
pearlescent paints, beads,
and apoxie sculpt floating around our house...
So I began with a template...

So I began with a template...
and cut glass
until the area was filled...

Then laid the apoxie sculpt,
and finally the green, cut glass,
which almost looks like the skin of a green toad...

I dusted the wet clay
with blue and gold pearlescent paint...

With the furniture back in place...
The faeries are quite delighted
with the new floor for their new home...
with the new floor for their new home...

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!
