haiku my heart ~ Lava & Cactus Magic
APRIL 25, 2014
Lava in the sky,
Arizona heat sizzles.
Cactus flower blooms...
Arizona heat sizzles.
Cactus flower blooms...
The raw beauty of Arizona
has always touched me deeply...
When I come to visit this amazing land
I feel as if I am stripped to the bone essence of myself.
So with some surprise,
or not,
I have become a quarterly staff facilitator
at the [STAR Retreat](http://www.starfound.org/)
a place for deep healing
and the opportunity for self-discovery.
For a few weeks out of the year
I am grateful to work with
such an incredible group of people dedicated
to being of service to others
with body, heart & soul.

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!
