haiku my heart ~ Pilgrims
OCTOBER 18, 2013
Sweet queen of our hearts,
bless these travelers, pilgrims...
as they journey far...
\*\*\*\*\*
My dear Rebecca and her group of pilgrims
are off to San Miguel de Allende,
one of my favorite places on all the earth...
A year ago...
I traveled there with her,
and my world forever changed,
a healing took place in my heart and psyche
that holds me still now
even as the currents of change sweep me away,
deeper into life...
For we are all pilgrims,
even at home...
May we find the sacred
in every step we take...
\*\*\*\*\*

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!
