Seeds In The Dark
JANUARY 4, 2011
_Dark of the moon..._
_Solar eclipse of the sun..._
_Brilliant seeds nestled_
_deep within this fertile darkness..._
_Orbs of bloom._
_creative delight,_
_sleeping dreams_
_of love,_
_your beauty_
_ in the caress of fingers_
_and the whispers of sound_
_found in moments of silence_
_when I hear you still..._
_Desires_
_taking root,_
_reaching for the sun_
_through this welcomed darkness,_
_awaiting wings of joy_
_to sip so delicately_
_of this beauty_
_unfolding..._

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!
