August Sturgeon Full Moon 2021
AUGUST 21, 2021
I opened the door
this morning
to a wet world.
Wet.
Damp.
Dripping
water gems
touching everything…
saturating the air,
my breath,
my lungs,
the depleted soil beneath my feet,
my dry and aging skin,
my hair a cloud of wild curls
as I stepped into a wonderland of beauty.
A gift…
from our Ocean…
All things parched
and dying,
all things green and living,
drinking,
drinking this heavenly elixir.
This gift of all days,
this eve of the August Sturgeon full moon,
as Leo winds into the arms of Virgo...
Strength.
Courage.
The sound of heavy air
is filled with birds
slipping between the moisture
falling, falling,
falling onto dead and dried leaves
waiting.
Waiting their turn
to come home
to this beautiful earth.

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!
