Discovering the Labyrinth 10/15/11
OCTOBER 16, 2011
One of my favorite things...
is to have the opportunity to
guide others in a journey of discovery...
First teaching them how to
draw the labyrinth on paper...

Then having them place that design on the ground,
with their own hands,
and then watching them take
that first step,

Each participants' labyrinth
became a living piece of art...

connecting them with the land
beneath their feet,
and the world around them
in a whole new way...

and... at the end of our time together,
we made a labyrinth large enough
for everyone to walk together...

I love this work

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!
