Carter's Steam Fair, Malden, UK
Such a delight to step back into time and experience walking through and riding some of these hundred-year-old rides of days long gone. All of the rides are powered by steam and are meticulously kept in brand-new condition.
You could almost...
step back far enough into the wonder of childhood
and fly away on a winged horse,
or sail to the moon,
landing gently back on the earth with your heart refreshed.

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!
