haiku my heart ~ persimmons
JULY 20, 2012
Lush, wondrous orange fruit…
This Winter ripeness can’t wait.
I pluck you myself.
This Winter ripeness can’t wait.
I pluck you myself.
I so wanted a painting from another artist
whose work I greatly admire...
My Brit friend Mollie,
who was just here visiting, said...
"why don't you make your own painting?"
So I did.
whose work I greatly admire...
My Brit friend Mollie,
who was just here visiting, said...
"why don't you make your own painting?"
So I did.
I painted my own branch of luscious Winter persimmons,
to hang on my wall for me to enjoy,
in oh so many ways,
every day of the year!
to hang on my wall for me to enjoy,
in oh so many ways,
every day of the year!
What...
is ripe in your world
and waiting for you to pluck?
is ripe in your world
and waiting for you to pluck?

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!
