Wisteria and amethyst-orb in the heart-space of the Santa Rosa Labyrinth
April New Moon in Taurus 2020
APRIL 22, 2020
A crack in the heart
whispers of change…
Bison thunder, the bull takes the lead
and the herd spreads like fire across the vast plains of my imagination…
Beauty nested in the jagged opening before me,
where mystery dances
in the spaces of my breath,
searching for the bridge from here to now,
like the arc of wisteria
to this moment
that beckons.
Nothing more.
This is all I need,
this opening,
no matter how small,
I can slip through and beyond
if I only trust what I cannot see…
Trust this spin
of time,
in the dark place of the moon
birthing me,
into the sweetness
of not knowing….

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!
