haiku my heart ~ Joy Switch
JULY 5, 2013
Colors of the world,
smiles lighting up the sky,
flip this switch of joy…
\*\*\*\*\*
Here is another story of lights...
they seem to be around me
a lot these days...
and I welcome their warm joy into my life,
which lately has held so much sadness...
smiles lighting up the sky,
flip this switch of joy…

Here is another story of lights...
they seem to be around me
a lot these days...
and I welcome their warm joy into my life,
which lately has held so much sadness...
A lot of people
are struggling with immeasurable hardships...
and to have the opportunity to bring some joy to another,
like my dear friend and neighbor Alice,
who has given of her heart to so many...
brings me such delight...

So I share this Friday heart haiku
in the hopes that it brings a smile to your face
and another light idea of inspiration.

These multi-colored LED lights
are solar powered,
and were placed with great care
into each colored bottle of the iron tree
that holds them...

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!
