More Rocks Find Their New Home~
NOVEMBER 6, 2011
Early this past Saturday morning...
I met with Tasha Thomson
of C.J. Thomson Landscapes
and her wonderful crew~
Jesus, Rosa, and Juan...
As we continued to prep the site
and the back rock wall was being built,
Shane of our local Wheeler Zamaroni

Juan began to unload those stones
and transport them over the bridge

Stone after stone...
the meanders
and spirals of Vicki's labyrinth
began to emerge...

By noon...
most of the stones were in place...

Stones nested amongst stones...
tucked into the vibrant earth
of this beautiful property,
awaiting the delight of
being enjoyed
by all who will walk and look
upon these meanders and spirals...
taking them to
the center place...

Where beauty unfolds

I want to acknowledge here, my long-time friend and labyrinth colleague Alex Champion. His beautiful geometric and labyrinth designs have greatly influenced me over the past twenty years... Like ripples in a pond when a pebble is dropped...

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!
