A Virgin A Day ~ Twelve Days With Mary ~ Day 12
DECEMBER 12, 2013
Thank you for the beauty
you shine...
on us each
and everyone...
Thank you for watching
over these baby steps
of stepping into the world,
each day new...
Thank you for compassion,
understanding,
and your surrendering heart...
Thank you for the hope
you inspire...
defying all odds
the impossible becomes possible...
Thank you for showing
your self
again and again and again
to the world...
*****
Today is the feast day
of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
This small statue is a part of my sandtray collection
at my office
and today moved into the mandala of sand
to watch over a baby Ganesh
stepping out into the world
for the very first time...
These twelve days have been precious
beyond my imagination.
Thank you for sharing them with me.
Wishing you
all the best for this season of the birth of light
and the new year to come...
*****
Come celebrate these twelve special days
of honoring the sacred mother,
of loving Lupita,
by visiting Rebecca and others
at recuerda mi corazon

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!
