haiku my heart ~ One Billion Women Rising
FEBRUARY 7, 2013
One billion women,
dancing, breaking all the chains…
You. Be this rising…
\*\*\*\*\*
One Billion Rising, is an initiative against violence against women
in the world on February 14th

From the [One Billion Women Rising Website](http://www.onebillionrising.org/pages/about-one-billion-rising): On V-Day’s 15th Anniversary, 14 February 2013, we are inviting ONE BILLION women and those who love them to WALK OUT, DANCE, RISE UP, and DEMAND an end to this violence. ONE BILLION RISING will move the earth, activating women and men across every country. V-Day wants the world to see our collective strength, our numbers, our solidarity across borders.

I will be dancing in the morning with friends and neighbors in my labyrinth, and then in the afternoon at a public event in Santa Rosa, CA from 3:00 to 5:00 PM.
Please join us where ever you are in any way that you want,
even if it is alone in your living room, for truly...
you will not be dancing alone...

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!
