Winter Solstice 2015
DECEMBER 21, 2015
Oh the return
of ten-thousand suns…
the shortest day of time turning,
opening our hearts
to this long dark of night,
birthing the Sun,
awakening
to something new,
a seed sprouting
deep within
the rich and fertile soil
of our souls…
Walk into the world…
and be that new light,
that possibility of love
blossoming,
even when it seems
impossible…
a point of light
guiding
us home...
\*\*\*\*\*
From my heart
and the heart-space of my labyrinth...
I wish you all
a blessed Winter Solstice
and the return of the light
and longer days!

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!
