Into The Maze
OCTOBER 26, 2010
**The labyrinth has never let me down...**
**Over the years,**
**these unicursal paths**
**have held me through the impossible...**
**Yet...**
**this time...**
**our labyrinth disintegrated around me...**
**Over the years,**
**these unicursal paths**
**have held me through the impossible...**
**Yet...**
**this time...**
**our labyrinth disintegrated around me...**
**a reflection of my known world crumbling,**
**the lines of my well worn path in life**
**blurred,**
**torn apart,**
**becoming a part of the chaos**
**of my heart and soul...**
**the lines of my well worn path in life**
**blurred,**
**torn apart,**
**becoming a part of the chaos**
**of my heart and soul...**
Yet, the removal of the last remnants of earth
and blue star creeper,
like the twinkle in Milt's eyes...
have set the stage
for something archetypal...
the lines have become three-dimensional
and the maze of the labyrinth is evident.

and the maze of the labyrinth is evident.
The maze
within the labyrinth is revealed.
within the labyrinth is revealed.
And even though my world is tilted...
I know that the path
will reveal itself when it is time...
And for now...
the maze of our labyrinth beckons
me to allow for this unknown...
for the confusion
of the mind,
for the possibility of choices,
and trusting what may seem like mistakes...

allowing the depth of this vast underworld
to lay the foundation
of what is yet to come...

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!
