Alex Champion's Hexagonal Rock Earthwork with 6 Obelisks - Third Visit
MAY 14, 2019
I arrived to find that the end-cap had been removed.
Next to come off was the cap-stone molding
and then the side straps of wood that were holding the two forms together that surround the concrete obelisk.

As I mentioned in the previous post, each obelisk weighs 900 pounds and is six-feet in length. So turning it was quite a feat!
But turn them they did! One of my favorite parts was when the cap-stone was revealed…
The concrete will be patched, sanded, and then painted, but at the moment… I love how this looks. Ancient. Weathered. As if it had been there for centuries…

Then the side molds were peeled away to reveal this incredible piece of engineering… The first obelisk!
Alex is pleased with it and he is looking forward to the pouring of the remaining five obelisks. There is still quite a ways to go with the digging out and creating of the six mounds as well as the central mound. But for now, the first obelisk has been revealed and points the way for more to come.
And the prepping and sanding begins for the second one, with Shiloh the dog, supervising…

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!
