haiku my heart ~ Letting Go
DECEMBER 28, 2012
This year ends, let go...
inward, the light grows, and grows...
Red bud unfurls...
inward, the light grows, and grows...
Red bud unfurls...
Thank you...
for being with me
as I walk this labyrinth of life...
These Friday haiku my hearts
have been stepping stones for me,
a means to express my heart
and come to grips with the enormous changes in my life...
These small words
and connections with this ever expanding circle
of poets and readers
has revived my broken heart, soul, and spirit
and allowed me the space to grow new wings...
My love to all of you this new year coming,
but especially to our host and crafter of magic
Rebecca Brooks who makes
the ordinary...
sacred.

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!
