haiku my heart ~ A Child Delights
MAY 2, 2014
Horny Toad Lizard
camouflaged in the bright sun,
a small child delights...
camouflaged in the bright sun,
a small child delights...
\*\*\*\*\*
I haven't seen one of
these lizards since before the age of seven...
and I am reveling in the pure delight of
seeing one again
after all these years...
Do you remember any
small critters that delighted you as a child?

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!
