haiku my heart ~ Queen's Tea
JUNE 1, 2012
Queen's Jubilee tea...
Will you take cream and sugar?
Sip, nibble... delights!
\*\*\*\*\*
The custom of afternoon tea
has long been a delight of mine!
Recently I enjoyed it in the company of one of my dearest friends,
[Kimberly Saward of Ariadne's Thread](http://ariadnesthread.net/),
in the heart of London.
This weekend,
in sunny Northern California,
I will have two opportunities to sip tea
and nibble on delicacies in celebration of Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee.
And I would like to share here with you
my most recent find...
this amazing antique Japanese sugar and creamer set.
I can not believe
how beautiful the craftsmanship
of these hand-painted vessels,
they are a feast in themselves!

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!
