Haiku My Heart ~ The Santa Rosa Labyrinth Turns Twenty-One Years!
MARCH 16, 2018
**twenty-one years fly...**
**like the compass that spun you**
**from my hands and heart**
**like the compass that spun you**
**from my hands and heart**

Yesterday, on March 15, 2018
the Santa Rosa Labyrinth turned twenty-one years.
And so I celebrate
all the twists and turns that have come since then,
the mystery yet to come,
and the joy this path has brought to me
through all the connections
and discoveries along the way...

And so I celebrate
all the twists and turns that have come since then,
the mystery yet to come,
and the joy this path has brought to me
through all the connections
and discoveries along the way...
And today is day #75 of walking my Santa Rosa Labyrinth
every day for 108 days in-a-row this new year...
Finding wild beauty in unexpected places.

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!
