haiku my heart ~ Treasures
APRIL 20, 2012
I am delighted to introduce you to artist Marit Barentsen of the Netherlands who shares her amazing art and writing through her blog and website [Marit's Blog](http://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog). Marit is "Editor In Chief" and is holding in her hands the newly published first edition art journaling and mixed media magazine that is now available through the [Featuring Magazine wesite](http://www.featuringmagazine.com/).
It is because of the beautiful interweaving circles of poets on haiku my heart Fridays that I met Marit. She asked me to contribute an article on labyrinths and I did! You will find my article, Stepping into the Labyrinth, within these pages...

And... in just two weeks from this Saturday...
I will have the opportunity to meet Marit in person at the Rotterdam Museum, Netherlands along with my dear friends [Jeff and Kimberly Saward](http://labyrinthosblog.net/2012/04/02/reborn-into-spring), as Jeff will be speaking on labyrinths during the TLS World Wide Labyrinth Day!
These interlocking circles are treasures indeed,
and it is a joy to share them with you!

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!
