Haiku My Heart ~ A Gift to the Sea
MAY 10, 2019
a gift to the sea
these marks in sand from our hearts
love notes for the world
these marks in sand from our hearts
love notes for the world
On Wednesday, May 1, 2019,
Clive Johnson, Marilyn Larson and myself
created a three-circuit labyrinth surrounded by a six-pointed star
at the edge of the Pacific Ocean
at Salmon Creek Beach, Sonoma County, California.
We walked and danced together in ceremony
and sang our love, with prayers and intentions
to live with more awareness and connection to all life
on this beautiful planet.

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!
