February New Moon
FEBRUARY 5, 2011
Have you seen that delicious slice
of this February's New Moon?
Such a glimmering
silver sliver
of new beauty...
I found this poem the other day,
one that I wrote almost exactly two years ago
and on the blog page of my website...
forgotten,
until now...
So perfect...
how did I know???
**February New Moon**
_This dark moon,_
_all things possible,_
_all things growing, bursting_
_with new potential..._
_I find you in each turn,_
_each quadrant greeting me_
_with an open heart,_
_filling me with golden sunlight_
_as I slow down and breathe in_
_such beauty..._
_from the center place..._

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!
