Haiku My Heart ~ More Books...
MAY 26, 2017
**Letting go of books**
**is like losing an old friend...**
**new space emerges**
**is like losing an old friend...**
**new space emerges**
\*\*\*\*\*
As of today,
120 boxes of books
have left my shelves to find new homes
over the past seven years...
If there are at least 15 books in a box,
then that makes at least 1,800 friends?
20 books in a box, maybe 2,400 friends?
Now someone else will get to love them
as much as I do...
and I can be curious
about all this space in my life...

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!
