haiku my heart ~ Ten Thousand Suns
DECEMBER 20, 2013
When dark is darkest,
light returns, ten thousand suns...
Hearts... receive this love.
\*\*\*\*\*
Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice 2013.
It will be the shortest day of the year,
and the longest night...
light returns, ten thousand suns...
Hearts... receive this love.

Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice 2013.
It will be the shortest day of the year,
and the longest night...
This year...
while putting up my Christmas decorations
my little nativity creche
found its way inside the grotto of my faerie tree
that I made years ago...

It was a very special moment,
for something happened inside of me
that I do not have words for...
for something happened inside of me
that I do not have words for...
My heart was touched deeply
and profoundly
by the symbolism
and the simple beauty of this scene...

I wish you could see it in person...
I hope that my haiku
and these images give you a taste
of this wonderful moment
in my heart...

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!
