JUNE 16, 2015
This was my first time
working with the material for the lines,
an acrylic base colored with crushed granite.
The product is called GraniTite.

It doesn't take long to harden.
Here is Robert pulling off the masking tape
that we so carefully laid down the day before...

Lars Howlett calls it "The Ferré Method"
as it was Robert who discovered
that this spray material usually used for patios and pools
would be the perfect hardy material
for the lines of a labyrinth.

The result?
This labyrinth is quite beautiful
as you can see!

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!
